The body work is going along actually quite well. In a different thread here on the Barn, the question was raised as to the quality of the reproduction rear tool tray pan.
Well, let's say it's "okay". Better than what I had for certain. Still, it required a lot of work to get it to fit properly. this one came from Pacific Parts. I do not know if they supply Drake and Carpenter. If you look at the photos carefully, you'll see I had to cut each side near the fender mount and move the panel in. About 1/8" was required on the left side, nearly 1/4" on the right side.
My guess is most guys would simply install this pan and figure "good enough". Me? I can't seem to force myself to accept "good enough". This pan was simply too wide. From my experience as a tool maker, it appears to have been formed poorly.
Anyway, it's welded up and the shape and width are now correct for a '40 Ford.
