Keith came up with the title for this - Re-Inventing the Wheel Well - if fits perfectly.
This is something that I have been putting off but have known about having to do it ever since the body went on the truck. When we did all of the wheel tub extensions and other work to the tub it was off of the frame. I thought that we would still have room in the wheel tub even after stretching the rear axle back 10" - I was wrong :banghead:
So here comes the rear flat fender work :rebel: I also bought a tailgate from BergBronco at the M&G and am going to narrow it (mine was too nice to cut, especially cut not knowing if the plan was going to work). Last night we drilled out the spot welds and removed one side of the tailgate (where the hinge is). Tonight I'll get the other side out and start cleaning the tailgate.
When it is done the rear wheel tub will be open in the rear - should look good I hope - at least unique on a Bronco
