That rear bumper you built looks almost as good as a Pabst!
Nice Work man!

Well,

I've been busy getting this stuff done so I can get this rig back on the road.
So here's how my weekend went;

Finished up the frames for the flairs and skinned them with 18 gauge sheet metal.
Then trimmed them down.

Then I put them on and made sure everything lined up nice.

I'm sure there's other ways to do this, but here's how I did it;
I painted the edge of the gap on the bottom of the door with anti-seize.
Then I pressed a cutout from a PBR box against it to transfer the shape.
Then it was just a mater of cutting out the template.
The one template worked great for both sides.

Next was to fully weld in the new rockers.

Had gaps in the corners that had to be filled so I made these little pieces out of the waste sheet metal.

Painted up the flairs and prepped the fenders and doors for paint.
If you know someone Japanese, get them to read that for you.

All painted up!

I think I'll have an other cold one while the paint dries.

Waiting to see how long it takes for your buddy to offer to buy it back from you, lol.
