    yep i like the length of the bed as the back wheel not in center not bad looking as is,but longer bed just would not look right to much off set to back wheel center . the tubes for you back lites many look better if you ran that part longer to a roll pan and widen the lite pod off set it a wee bit

    I'm with you Pat, longer would look bad. The one thing I did learn on this project, is get it outside and stand back and look a proportions. What looks good up close may look like crud back 50 feet. I was lucky that some of it turned out as well as it did, since this was my first total creation. I have considered wideing those lights. The other thing I learned is what looks good to me on Saturday, may not on Tuesday..............
