My 68 Crawler build... Part 2

Ok, so its been a while. I cracked my ribs and havent been able to do much of anything as far as work goes, or even working on the eb, but today i got some stuff done... I had to fix 6 broken bolts i couldnt get out for the fenders. I ended up welding them and tapping them to make work. Such a pain in the ass. But its all done and turned out good. Here are some pics with the front fenders on and grill.

Weekend Update.....

I got the inner fenders back in place and tack welded where i want them. What a PITA!!! I am going to have to do some extra sheet metal work to get the inner fenders how i want them.

Put the hood on, trimmed and cut the sides, tack welded them into place. Again, what a pain! Also had to cut the very front part of the hood off and shorten it by about 3/4"... Well, at least its all together now, and the hood grill, and dash can go get blasted.

Next on list...

I have to cut loose the rear quarter panels and replace them. Also cut the 2 rear inner fenders in half, and stretch them 4" each. Then replace drivers and passenger floor pans. Once that is all done, i get to finish painting the engine compartment, and spray the bed with some bed liner. Then off to the lovely world of wiring....

Some Pics....

So i got the hood on, top on, and the doors... I really looks like a bronco. Now i got to finish up the rest of the sheet metal work and pull it all back off to get it blasted... Do you guys like my temporary windshield? It that new poly extra strength stuff...
