I bought the TRF panel, and have yet to weld it on.  I do like it though, it
appears well thought out.  It has (Ack! the proper word escapes me) a bent
top edge (two 90 degree bends), to allow it to slide under the fender,
allowing a smooth weld, without trying butt weld it.  (Crimp?  Is that the
word I'm looking for?)

Anyways, it feels the right guage and I can't wait to actually weld it in
(later this fall/winter)....

Hope that's helpful.
