Drivers-side floor and Jaguar Gas Filler
I spent Friday evening putting in the drivers-side floor. I sure like the quality of the pan on that side. Saving the last rear-quarter passenger side pan for tomorrow. That's going to be the worst piece because it doesn't look anything like the other side. It generally fits, but will need a lot of fiddling.
Today I working on the Jag gas filler. Unlike Jeff, I didn't get the little bucket these use, so I had to fabricate my own. Other than doing some bodywork and adding the drain - it's all done. Here's the latest.

To flare or not to flare - that is the question?
As I've moved rearward on this - pondering now how I am going to seal that bed panel in a permanent fashion - I started looking at the rusted wheel wells. They are pretty rough. I'm going to repair them one way or the other. I then looked at the pair I cut off the other Ranchero and they are really only slightly better.
In my youth I used a cutting torch on my 62 Futura to make my then 9" rear-end from a Fairlane fit under that car (hey, I was making $2.88 an hour) - and though it was rough, it looked pretty good. So I have been debating, looking on-line at other cars, trying to decide whether to unify the flares on the car.
I'll be stealing a pair of Steve's swap meet rusted, but blasted, fenders to do this. But I don't think you mind - do you Steve? I'll give you a ride in it when I'm done. I don't want them to be an exact copy like most are. I want the rears to have a more round shape instead of flaring out in the back. Minor change. [thumb]
So, what do you guys think?
Interestingly - that sedan delivery is the same paint scheme I'm going with - but with red paint.
