Based on the photo dates, I think these must have been posted previously (in September 2020)
First a light trial strip cut and bent, then the body of the boxes bent on the brake and spot welded to close them up, next the pan brake used to bend up end cap for the back of the box which was glued on with body repair epoxy. Finally for this group the 1/8 thick strap welded around the opening for reinforcement. It is nice having the luxury of both a straight brake and a box/pan - each has benefits for access, clearance and shapes.
