been doing some minor fender voodoo to 'expand' the edges of the front/rear wheel wells...
before -
after -
cutting from the blue bed to fill in what was strategically removed from the green bed. Drivers-side was the first try - got it right on the pass-side -relocated the green portion 'back' then filled the gap with a chunk from the blue bed -
...then it occurred to me that I can avoid the 'gap' by being smart about where I'm cutting; took this section from the blue bed...
...and inserted it 'here' -
worked great -
Wheel wells are being deleted completely, which will add a ton more room in the bed.
