Re: rear outer wheel well question

I use 19 ga steel and bend it on my table edge. 1 inch thick solid steel 22"x33" table top. The edge of the wheel well I bent with a bar, 1/2 " deep cut as shown in pic. I cut the old well out and used it as the template. I drilled holes to spot weld the upper edge, fit it under the bottom on the well and tacked that edge together.
