i'll have to pick up a donor body panel from the junk yard to cut on for parts. I have my stock hood from the green truck, but it's in great shape other than the paint.

i am concerned the 3rd brake light is a potential "leak" waiting to happen.

The small sheets at Lowes and Home Depot are only a hair thicker than the factory sheet metal.. they work great for shaving stuff, and they run like 6-8 bucks...lol my tag box is made from it, and my stake pockets and tailgate handle were shaved with it.. ive been usen scrap body pieces cause they are free :)

my lowes has several different thicknesses panels you can buy. thats what i just got to make my rear 6x9 panels and covers for my impala. used the thicker steel for more strength.
the only problem i have with fillers is the time needed for welding and grinding them!!!!!!!! im not patient enough and i put to much heat from either the welder or grinder and it warps :(
