Now after seeing some of the sheetmetal work that is done on these board, my at home hack job doesn't seem very special, but gotta keep the build thread going so bare with me.

Trying to get the front engine bay sheetmetal work done this week while I am waiting for the converter.

There was a good bit of rust below the battery box and that area was not very good looking and flowing with the rest of a pretty good looking inner fender. So I cut it out bent up some sheetmetal and welded it in for a nice straight and flush fender.

Here it is in raw metal, still needed a bit more metal work at this point but I was running out of time.





All bodywork and high build primer done. Still needs a little more attention before paint but its getting close.





The plan for the engine bay is just have mechanical parts in there, very little if any wiring. Going to tuck the headlight, turnsignals under the inner fenders and mount the battery in the rear of the truck. Trying to make it a very clean and pleasing engine bay.
