Oh Yea!

I dont know what Id rather have the Bronco or your shop?

Anyway shoot a few pics og those inner fenders .....reason is Id like to crank my chassis Can you install em with the core support and not the tub? I need somewhere to run the wiring and mount the radi and I think I could bust of my $4000 warmer than stock rebuild.

Its looking Good!

The fiberglass inner fenders and core support are mounted to my steel tub. They bolt on on the front of the steel kick panels. Then they bolt on to the core support. They needed to be slightly trimmed, but very easy with fiberglass. I will get some more pictures of them tonight. I hope this is what you wanted to know.

The shop is a great place to work. Even with it's size, I always seem to have it full of junk. Got the interior finished up last night and hopefully I am going to paint the bumbers and roll cage tonight. The last painting will be the doors. This is going to have to wait until after I take a quick fishing trip to Canada next week.

The color is 1998 Ford Royal Blue. It is the color that I had on my 1999 F250 Super Duty.

I cant wait to get it done and be able to drive it. I started the frame off in March and have done all the work myself. I would not call me a body and paint man, and the paint is not perfect, but I am happy how it has turned out. By doing it myself, if it is not just right I have no one else to blame but myself. I am really looking forward to driving this on and off road.

The roll cage is from Kentrol. All I had to weld together was the front hoop to the floor and the front top braces. Seems to fit well and looks good.
