He's not worried about the top just the ends. He's kinda picky. I'm sure you'll get to it. Everthing else looks bomb proof. On second thought you could have ran it under the frame then it would be bomb proof. Just a thought. Maybe it is? Kinda hard to see. I guess that would cut down on your room for your bags? How much clearance do you have around your exhaust pipes? I'm kinda doing the same thing.

I thought that, but was just checking. We all have to keep an eye on each other. If I'm making a mistake I hope people will point it out. It does look great thought.

Re: My 61 Panel

Making some good progress. You make me want to go buy another truck and cut it up. Looking good. Can't wait to see more. At first I thought you had holes for your exhaust pipes I can see better now. Better weld that stuff up don't want Strodder on ya. I'm going to buy a kit to do the rear on mine. Next one I'll hopefully have enough knowledge/skill to do it the way your doing it.
