Looks very nice. I'm so bad at body work and paint that I'm jealous....you are right that you found your calling. Great looking color and Bronco!

I love it! Whats the color code?

How are you going to keep those tires off the fenders under flex?

What am I seeing on the driver side rear wheel well?

Wow thanks! I think im going white with green/silver accents. Might go with that. Ya incredible work you've done on the paint. How much $$ in materials and how many hours?

Check out these Broncos with grafted front fenders out back:

Hey JefeAZ,those are some sweet ass rigs for sure,I also think I'm gonna do the front fender graft on my next project,love that idea and looks kick ass! As far as man hrs. all I can say is it took me & my buddy months of hard work (only working on weekends) I would work during the week on it by myself.And money wise I would estimate at around $800 for everything,(paint,primer,clearcoat,all miscellaneous supplies).I just couldn't bring myself to pay somebody 3-5 thousand to do something that I could do myself for peanuts in comparison.I'm still not done completely tho,for my winter project I have to get the doors and tailgate finished. :cool:;D:D
