Got a good chunk done today on the truck while i watched the Star Wars marathon on TBS today

Mocked up the front end and got new core support built and holding the grille in place. Got the hood half mounted, got radiator mocked up and hald the mount finished, and built a nice simple tube bumper that is hidden underneath the stock truck bumper.

Nice work! Almost a shame to cover up the beams with the bumper.

Who makes the fiberglass front fenders that you are using? how do you like the fit? and do you have pictures of how they mount?

Hannemann is who made the fenders. They are 3" buldge with 1 3/4" bigger wheel opening.

I do not have mine mounted yet. They come as just skins so mounting is up to you.
