Re: Project '86
It will be flush, I just made a rough cut on it for now to see how it will look.

Re: Project '86
glad to hear it...the flush will look better than a cowl wood on your truck

Re: Project '86
That piece you see in the photo just goes up far enough that you can't see the top of it. I think it was about 15" long. There is nothing fancy to that piece at all. I cut a 15x6" rectangle out of some 22ga. Then held it against the fender well and marked the curve of the fender on it. Trimmed it along that line and that is it.

Re: Project '86
Well it looks great, it really cleans up the look of the wheel well. The hood looks great too, I like the fact that I havent ever seen this done on the square bodies. Awesome work, keep it up!
