Well,
I painted the core support and the inside of the fenders with por15 and then coated them with rhino lining, I am hoping the rhino liner will hold up good to the mud and rocks.
tomorrow I am going to start welding in the plate for the integrated power steering box...
Hopefully that will be done tomorrow, then after I find inner fenders I can put the front clip together
