I know this is a J10, but I think you would really like the way the bed looks on this one, Pete.

Wow, that's gorgeous... Ok, I quit.

Just kidding.... I guess I've just got to step up my game!

Got my fenders in Thursday, so I had a chance to work on them yesterday. Here is what one of the fenders looks like:



I then found the center line and traced the outline of the fender to the side panel of the truck bed.



Now it was time to cut!



After getting the side of the truck bed cut out, I fitted the fender in approximately 6 inches. This will line up with the frame rails.









I tack welded the fender in for now. When I traced the fender for cutting, I was off on the corners. I'll probably have to cut a couple of small pieces of sheet metal to fill in the gaps. Hopefully I'll be able to do a better job on the other side. So the fender is inset 6 inches into the bed and 4 inches stick out of the side of the bed. That 4 inches make it line up with the original width of the Jeep CJ body. I will probably have to cut some of the fenders off at the outer bottom ends. But I won't be able to tell how much till I get the bed actually mounted to the frame.

So what do ya'll think so far?

Made another big step toward my build this weekend. I found a CJ8 Half Hard Top.



Getting there little by little.
