Joining strips end to end is one of my least favorite tasks. FWIW, patching 10 fender holes I made using a template off the old bed is another. At least I stopped at two on the other side. Locations turned out to be no good. Anyhow, customer now wants to permanently join bed front and side panels so I extended the fillers at front to cover the area where nuts and bolts were.
