The grill surround needs a ton of work to fit properly. I'm still not sure if I'm going to use it or just use it as a buck.
I really want a steel shell. A metal shaper with plastic parts just doesn't seem right.


After I got the bumper cutout welded up and metal finished, I fitted up the front cab corner and welded it in.
 I also had to make a new hood catch. I still need to metal finish the weld.


Next I will fabricate the pieces needed to reshape and restore the rest of the wheel arch.

Testing the fender fitment.

I don't like the way Ford fit the fenders with the arch. Looks like a mistake, but all of these COEs are like this.

I will make a new section and reshape the arch to fit the fender.
