Your metal work under the hood is amazing  8) Are those wheel wells trailer fenders? What are your plans for the firewall? That cowl panel looks awesome now I'm gonna have to finish mine.
They sure clean it up quite a bit. I saw some wells like that from suicidedoors.com(decal on the back glass of one of the pics at the start of the thread) but not sure if they're the same.

Those are just regular 32" trailer fenders. Got them at Tractor Supply for $20 a piece. I am going to clean the firewall up some but don't plan to fully shave it.

WOW! That's some neat stuff you got goin' on. I've been saying for quite awhile that the wheelwell on our trucks are really an oddity, not way different like an old '50's-'60's car, but just enough to make it difficult when trying to make one sit & look just right. Keep the photos comming! Lorne

I was thinking about using the trailer fenders also to give me a little more room between the tires and the wheelwell. With the drop I have my truck wants to rub when I turn deep. Thats what I dont like about the stock wheelwells they just dont allow you enough room for more than 5" of drop.

Thats some nice looking work your doing there.  By the looks of the pictures, you doing all your work outside?  Just imagine what you could do with a fully equipped body shop......Keep up the good work and I can't wait to see it when you are done.

I sure wish I had a shop to work in so that I wouldn't be at the mercy of the weather. If that was the case I would be much further along by now.

I HATE SANDING! The cowl is done and the fender is getting close.
