Thanks man. Yeah, it is past time to work on one of my own.
I jumped over to doing some body work. Basically every body panel was dented. The hood and tailgate are pretty straight but even they have dents and some other imperfections.
The front fenders and grille were trash. I traded some stuff off to Crawdad for some front fenders. Might have been a mistake on my part as I had a set of new fenders here. As I got into these, they need a good bit of work, but are still way straighter than what came off.
To start, the fenders were cleaned up and the fiberglass flares removed. The fenders were cut out more for the flexible WH warflares. My preferred method of doing this is an angle grinder with cutting disc. Masking tape makes for a nice guide to cut against. It is easier for me to see than using a marked line.
