Ah ok, hard to see in the pics. I guess it will be more apparent when you start to weld it in.
I like your bracing idea. I need to replace at least one inner fender on my Barracuda. If I braced it like that I wonder if it it would be strong enough for rolling onto a plant trailer to drive 2 moles to the Media Blasters? I'd remove the doors as well and brace accross them too.
