Of course there was still some more prep, fine trimming and alignment issues but it was just about ready to go back on for good here. Thanks for looking! Justin

But ran out of motivation to seam weld it up. I'm going to try to set a goal of welding at least a foot at a time per session to get it moving foward again.

Here's where the snowball effect is coming back into play again. I've always prefered the look of the flush mounted Gen2 Forerunner headlamp units

I had purchased a complete Gen 2 front end group years ago thinking they'd just go on my old core support but soon discovered they where just different enough. I have the bumper and valance assembly too though I probably won't be able to use them with my tire and suspension choice.

So instead of welding up the bed I've been preping this new core support I bought a few months ago to go on. I'm jumping around but it all has to be done. At least that's my justification for not staying focused. LOL Thanks again Andy! Justin

Only this slight relief needed for the change in headlamps.

Clamped in just about the best adjusted position I'm going to get. Sheet metal screwing it together next for a quick mock up to double check before I commit to welding. Cut and rolled the edges of the splash shield for a tube bumper option.

Going to track alot wider than stock which will be cool. Already planning the rear axle swap that will match this addtional track width.

This kit is designed to be a direct bolt-on conversion but due to the engine swap and header choice this will not be an option. The plan is to move the pivot points down and out about an inch so new pivot point will have to be fabricated. This is out of my wheel house so to speak so I'm having a friend who specializes in this sort of thing help me along here. The trouble is he's a few months out from being able to take it on. He's worth the wait though; will have updates once this work
