I started tacking the right side panels together while mounted in the car. I found that I had to move the fuse box back a couple inches to make room for these monster tubs. Everything fits well now.
I forgot to mention that I finished my new bead roller last week. It has about 8 or 9 inches of reach and you can see in the picture below that I installed needle bearings in the front pillow blocks.
I cut some 2" wide strips of ABS for the reinforcements then ran them through the bead roller to bend them while warming them up with a heat gun.
next, I predrilled and temporarily installed them to make sure they fit tight. Then I took them off and prepped and cemented them in place and followed with spreading rivets. This one is done. I'll stuff it in the car tomorrow. I already spent way too much time on these.
