I should have really opened them up but i'm not too worried about it. I chopped the rear part of the fender already and I don't really need the extra space so no point in cutting that part anymore

More.

I wasn't sure what to do about the filler lines cause I didn't want to just leave them exposed to the elements. So I build a little box to cover them all up.












Making triangles.


Then making those triangles into smaller triangles.




Floor in. Rear.

So, what are you going to do with the short stubby pieces of square tubing at the c-pillar? Why didn't you use one solid piece of tube across?

Do you plan to brace it down to the floor?

Because the shop that bent it made it too long so I had to sleeve it. And then where it ties into the cage was too short so I had to sleeve that too. AKA, it wasn't made right so I had to fix it. Wasn't really what I wanted to do with it but it will work.

I guess that makes sense. Sounds like you need a new shop or a bender of your own.

Are those the ebay harnesses? I almost bought a set of those. Ya like em?

I'm in the market for my own bender, that shop isn't cutting it anymore. Its high on my new toys list. And yeah, ebay harnesses. They aren't anything special but they do the job. Way more affordable then buying a branded one. I got two of them for 35 bucks.
