I found some time to get back on the project. I finished up the left fender liner and installed it. Where the side panels meet the top panel, there was only a butt weld. These tubs take a lot of torture and if they fail at high speed, it can get ugly fast. I decided to cement a reinforcement strip of ABS along the seem and rivet it on. Overkill but I don't have to worry about it later. I started making the panels for the right side. Same process, same templates just flipped over. This one will go much faster since I know what to do now.
