Combined the install of a 2.5 gallon oil tank with finishing the fab of the extended rocker panel. Thanks to many here...Steve, JJ, Tim McGilton and others for the concept and advice!

Used a 1" tube through the rocker to provide access for a bolt to attach the front fender. Even though I've done everything I can to eliminate any water from getting down here, I still prepped the metal to withstand the elements.

These access holes will be covered by a splitter...coming later.

Will have to relocate the filler and install a site tube. Prepped for this but will wait until I'm routing the oil lines.

The rockers and oil tank mount are fantastic.

The front fit was virtually perfect. Certainly no metal work needed, just a little filler will be necessary...a very little. My passenger door and fender sit a little lower than the driver side, in relation to the A pillar and this they expose the bottom edge if the glass. Ill post a picture. Once I finish fitting the fenders and the hood, I can decide if I will extend them to better cover the area. The glass is good. Will be a month or so until I get to fitting the rear.
