11-01-08:  Well today I started out by making some templates for my rear filler panels. It took a couple try to get them right. :oops:  Once I finally got them to fit right I traced them onto the diamond plate. 

Then I cut them out with the jigsaw. These panels are fairly complex. So it took me a few hours to get them cut out. :roll:  Once I got them cut out I did a test fit and marked out where I needed to drill the holes for the body mount bolts and where I needed to bend the panels. I used a hole saw to drill the holes. The smallest hole saw I have is a 2 5/8" that I bought to install my guages. So the holes are a little bigger then they need to be. But hopefully the seats will cover up that area anyways. :lol:

Next I clamped the panels to the cross bar on my trailer and hammered the one part of the panel over. Did a couple more test fits. That's about as far as I got today. I still have a few small adjustments to make to the panels and then weld them in. But the pictures give you and idea of what it'll look like. :D
