Last one.

Cut out some metal to make an end cap and weld it up:

The body man will give them a little beating to soften the bend.

This is EXACTLY why I'm making up steel rocker panel shapes with blank ends. $45.00 each side.

Joe, Good job. Your car looks great and is coming along very nicely.

Thread Hijack!

Joe, I know you've described your wheel/tire combo before, but I can't seem to find the thread. Could you please describe the wheel size, tire size, and spacer size you've used? Thanks.
