ohhhhh ahhhhhhh

I"m not in love with the way you covered the fuel filler...when you do the tail lights I would look to try and find a way to make it look more like 1 smooth piece...and cover over the wheel well sheet metal

Sorry....just drank a bottle of Stag Leap's Artimes

the carpet I just picked up at lowes. Not really sure what you by side platforms.

dodge I am open to suggestions, I am thinking about possibly trying to dofiberglass so that I can get a rounded shape around the taillights.
