Great job. Those radii look good, and look like very time consuming. Hinges were a good touch.

Very nicely done!

fuel tank:
this is 10"x36" stainless tank

I wanted it tucked under the bed hidden away.
However the fill neck and line ports were in the wrong spots. So i had to move them.

I also did not like the straps that these use. i made new mounts. had to build a jig to roll the 3/8x5/8 bar stock.

Beautifully done, but when I saw the pic of the tanks location it made me cringe. I hope the tank will be well shielded from what ever might go ballistic from the tires and road. I'm probably being paranoid, but years ago I had a rock shoot off the back tire of a truck in front of me. It hit my hood, gouged a depression most of the length of the hood, went through the windshield, then blew out the rear window of the Ranger's cab...and I was not following too close.

Nice work. I can see this is not the first time you've work with metal. Keep the pics coming.

You are correct. And to be honest, this is my first (and last) time working with fiberglass...

added an E-brake lever. This was a lever from a 1950's truck. It was very long and had an offset. So I cut it down and and made a new mount for it.

I think it looks right at home...

Parking brake cable connections.

I made up an aluminum block to capture the cables. and I used a simple turnbuckle to take up the slack in the cable.

Coolness! VERY impressive problem solving.

^*&*%^$# had to walk away from this today. i got all the brake lines installed and was bleeding the brakes when i found a weeping banjo bolt. installed new washers, same result. tried copper, steel, aluminum washers. Tried new bolt, worse leak. i guess i need to pull the parts off the car and check the mating surfaces. everything is new.... 'sigh'

Looks like you found the leak! Hope the replacement is available.
