It's a little larger and will require less filler pieces but that's just my thinking I may be able to work around the stock glass.

After such a long time I finally get a chance to get more work done on my truck.
In the next couple of months I will be working on my truck and on the bolt on suspension.
These are my plans.
For my truck there are 4 things I want to acomplish soon.
1.Finish roding the fenders for more wheel clearance.
2.Finish cowl shaving.
3.Finish sheet metal work on the bed floor.
4.Shoot a satin black paint over the truck.

For the bolt on suspension.
1.Finish the steering setup.
2.Make brakets for the strut rod.
3.Start mocking up for the upper control arms.

I found a cool 4 piston caliper brake setup from a car that will bolt right in
to the spindles on my bolt in setup. It's going to be bad a$$!!

Thank guys,

What the rod dose is stiffins the fender since most of the fender lip is gone and it also protects my tire from getting shreded when turning left or right.
So instead of a sharp edge lip there is a nice round lip.
