I don't have sheet metal skills, I have sheetmetal determination

This is my first "real" sheetmetal project. I did some relatively simple stuff on my 48 chevy flatbed build....but nothing like this.

As far as sheetmetal tools go, I have a harbor fright shrinker/stretcher and a 36" HF sheetmetal brake. Not a huge investment, but they work OK for my current skill level.

Seeing all of the cool builds posted on various rod sites pushed me over the edge. It is not perfect by any means, but it should be decent after bodyfiller and paint. .....and it is one hell of a learning experience.

What do you guys think about adding a rumble seat in the boat-tail? Gas tank would be mounted behind the rear end.
