I was wondering how close the Brothers wheel wells looked to the factory pieces. From the pictures you posted close enough for me. Let us know if you have any fitment issues.

I have not weighed them or measured yet, but they are heavy pieces. I will definately let ya'll know how they work.

Hey Joe, I weighed the wheel wells and the new ones are 1-2lbs heavier.

I went back to work today and they didn't really have much to do except a brken door glass on an expedition. That pays well. LOL So I came home to get something done on Ronnies.

I was rushed on the RT bedside. We'll see how it turns out. Getting a good foundation is key it makes blocking a lot easier.



Here is the LT B/S



Sprayed 2 coats of slick sand on everything and put another coat on the RT just in case.





Guide coat



Started sanding on the T/G to see what's going on there. The letter area had some dents and bows to it. That's what I concentrated on today.

Ran a flat block across the letters and it shows some of the damage. Did the same thing on the rest of the flat surfaces to show the lows.



The inside of the T/G





Still have to shave the T/G chain attachement and weld up the holes.

Call the paint store today and they have a metal prep for galvanized metal. It's $10/bottle concentrate.
