PERFECT PANELS

One night, Brent decided to cut out the factory fuel-filler. “I did it all properly — cut out some sheet steel, hammered it into shape on a sandbag, and TIG welded it into place. Then I got a call from Darrin asking who had done the filler work. I thought he was going to compliment me on the workmanship,” Brent recalls. “Instead, he told me that he’d be redoing it, and he said he’d handle all the fabrication on the body. That way, we’d both know that he’d done all the work on the body, so, if there is a problem with anything in the future, there wouldn’t be any trouble identifying who did what.” Darrin’s willingness to stand by his work shows. He has done an impeccable job with the panel work — and, in case you were wondering, the fuel-filler has been relocated to the inside of the tray; accessible but out of sight.
