Excellent choice on the wheels! (I was going to ask if they were Ridlers, and then I noticed the box...) I have my heart set on that same wheel for mine, when I get that far.

Thanks, yes Ridler 17x8 front 20x10 rear.Found these on Ebay, even came with lug nuts.
 
Well had a little set back, after I got my tires on the rears were just to tall. I set it up for 16 or 18's but I really liked the look of the 20's. So I cut the tubs loose and moved them and the fenders up 2 1/2" It sits more level now.

Well a little progress, might have to squint a little until I get it all in and color matched.
Took a 8" purlin and made a step/running board.
I used a piece of foam to mock and form my pattern,then made a form to shape the curvy pieces.When I get them bolted all down i'll weld in the cap plates so it will hold its shape tight against the fenders.
