Had to pull the side panel bottoms in order to pull the rear in. The new width of the rear is now 38" wide. You can see how I ended up turning the rear brackets so the height isn't so tall. The new height of the rear on the inside is now 13" tall. Of course that will increase a little once I git the lid designed and built. I cut the license plate light out of the left tail light and mounted it on it's own in the center of the rear panel. I'll have to custom build a housing fer it and wire it in.

Fer the front gap, I only had to pull the 2 right panels and cut the hole in one of them. I just realigned the inner panel so the gap would disappear.
