Default fender wells

Today I finished the rear fender wells. I started with 32" x 68" 14 ga steel and had the supplier bend a 90 degree bend at 17". I end up with a 17" vertical piece and a 51" horizontal part that covers the tires. The drivers side is 9" longer. The front rest on top of the compartment frame in front of the tires. I made small angle iron tabs with a 1/2" lock nuts welded to them. I drilled holes in the sheet steel and bolted into the tabs and then welded the tabs to the floor joist. I can remove the fender wells from below. I bolted the bottom of the 17" (back of the fender well) piece to the mud flap mount with four 3/8 bolts. It all went as planed but an extra set of hands would have been good. I hope you can understand the pictures. Just a few more things befor I remove the roof and floor framming.
