I've hit a snag in the road here..

My orignal setup wouldnt work because the brackets wouldn't have anything to attach to..
I thought the inside lip was continious all the way around for an inch deep, but once i removed the splash sheild, my assumption left me having to reconfigure things..

so insted of the double setup I was going for, i ended up having to go back to an orignal setup of only having one leg going up..


This is how I was going to attach the skirt orignally, but I came up on wheel/tire travel conflict even after trimming the bolt and threading it..
I drilled through the steel and tacked a bolt through it for an attachment point.




heres the bottom edge contouring the bedside..
(rear)

(front)


so after ditchign the upper wingnut idea, I thought, Why do I need to fully remove it?
So off I went to home depot (less than a block away) and I came up with this idea..



With that problem solved I've hit somewhat of a stumpped state..
I dont know how to frame the outside edge..

So I tacked some wire to see how well it would work..
its.. o...k.. but i'm not happy with it intirely..
I was running out of light, so I packed it in.






How should I finish this? I've got mental constipation here..
