Here's how I mounted the top of the bedsides. Countersunk hex head with aircraft nuts, I'll need something to make the rail more rigid. It seems strong but I can't trust the fiberglass. I used a multi-tool to strip the grooves and tabs of the bed rail caps, worked great. Hopefully taking the caps next week for linex. 3rd brake light also came in, it's a light red, almost pink light when lit. So I'm going to wrap it in red.

Tires also here, waiting on methods!

The new bedsides are wider at the bed support, there's about a 4" gap. I cut and screwed in 22g. Steel and sprayed it with undercoating. Finished the fuel filler neck, just had to order hose and extend it. Everything mounts up like oem.

Thanks to @svc, they resolved the front fender issue. I received them and as per quality, glassworks is atrocious. The fenders took a lot of massaging, cutting, and cracking to get somewhat lined up. Here's the body lines on one side, the other side is far worse. Also received a go fast bit from SVC in the mail. Still waiting on backordered method wheels.

Finally got decent body line with these fenders, new headlights are here. I didn't want to go with aftermarket liners so I re-used the oem ones. I trimmed them to fit and heated them up to mold around the new fenders. Hoping to finish up the bed wrap so I can button up the rear end. Wheels backordered another week...

Sorry about the sideways photos, I'm not sure why some are like that.

Took the fenders off for hopefully the last time, took some time to clean this thing, should be getting wheels tomorrow and wrap this weekend. SVC says light tower is almost done too, I'm thinking of doing something different with it.
