so havent been able to do much on my own stuff lately , so It was nice today , when I found some time .. built a smoothie cowl and got it trimmed then I started on the flip front cut the fenders in 1/2 , so they would be easier to work with .. trimmed off the mount flanges , and "fit" them to the body .. got everything where I wanted , pulled it off , and glassed it re installed , and "fit the bottom 1/2 of the fenders .. pulled it off , and glassed it more cutting coming soon .

I like the idea of the tilt front end, i made one years ago (all metal though) for my 69 Datsun 4x4 PU made it super simple to work on. Mine pulled forward 2" then tilted, fenders cleared the doors better that way. Wish i still had that truck today. Good to see you back at it Corey.

got the bed sides built .. OBVIOUSLY .. it's just "sitting there" just to get an "idea" The rim/tire size is way to big .. to much offset .. so I need to at least throw on the OE stockers , to continue and I'm thinkin a "bob" cuz it just seems to long ?

dont know the measurement yet .. but what I was thinking , was to have the back section the same a front section , just to "balance" the look . not sure I'm going to do it though , as it will interfer with the positioning of the fuel cell .. so I duno
