Project "Big Country" - Front Bumper Fab

[SC74]

Robert, nice work on the grill. I will be pulling in my rear quarter panels this week.

I had to remove most of my rear finder wells for my suspension and roll cage. Are you trying to keep your fender wells?

Carl - I debated on whether or not to dob the rear end or not. I finally decided not to for several reasons - hope to be able to fit a back seat (one seat, not a bench) and want to be able to run a soft top on it. I had lots of cool ideas for the tailgate if I did though!

I'm keeping the fender wells. The center of the rear tire is still not in the center of the wheel well - it's more in the center of the extension piece (16" from rear body mount) so I'm going to have plenty of room in front of the tire to fab something up for a coilover - my coilover will come off of the lower arm, not the axle. If need be, I'll cut a hole in the fender well for the coilover if the upper mount is too high to fit without.

Let's see some pics of yours with the rear quarters turned in! I've always liked that look on EB's built for the trail.
