just wondering another thing how time consuming is it and does anyone have any kinda liek step by step pictures? or anything? and how do you guys make the stuff like the licence plate box would be ptreey easy it hink but what about bending the roll pans and stuff? what tools do you use and how do u do it?

well the roll pan is flat except for the body line at the very bottom. you can just mark out where it has to be bent and take it to a welding or fabricating shop and they will bend it in the break press. i think its like and inch up from the bottom. if you look close at mine i didnt even do that mine is just a piece of flat metal. and tail light filler are a little harder. it took me about 2 hours to make each one. alot of bending and relief cutting and welding because the steel has to be bent in 2 directions in the same spot so you have to cut reliefs in so the steel doesnt wrinkle. or just buy some.

I was thinking about welding my gate shut but u people are saying to weld in some sheet metal to fill the gaps. But how do you hold them in place? I was thinking of mabye using a magnet to hold it in place why u weld. I'm not shure if it would work though. How are u guys going about doing this?
