Am I nuts? 1940 Plymouth Commercial Car (Truck)

More progress to report. Got my driveshaft from Driveshafts Northwest installed. I've also been working on the running boards. The originals were beat to hell. My son did some patch work to repair the rust where they sat on the supports, and I did some patch work to replace the badly damaged sides using about three donors. The running boards still had a bit of warp to them, but once I attached them to the front and rear fenders I was able to encourage them into place. Today I made a filler panel that goes between the running board and the bed and ties in the side of the fender. I had to make a cut out for the gas filler as I am using the stock Dakota tank and filler and not the Plymouth setup that went through the cab. I was able to bend the filler flange on top and bottom, but had to hammer form the front flange as it has a slight curve to match the cab.
