So I've been workin on gettin my bumpers fabed up. And finally have a day when the ball and chain is busy to build! Other than my bumpers I plan on throwin in the taurus efans I picked up today; I gotta go back and exchange one of the small ones and pick up the temp switch. Also gonna cut my studds to work with my wheel spacers. Wanna cut my fenders as well.... A few other little things like makin a drink holder to go around the shift stick..


Any tips?!
 
All I can say is take your time with the fenders, make them look good and it will pay off.
 
Sounds like a lot to plan for one day, at least for me anyway. I would probably be able to accomplish one of those tasks in a day, and probably still have to come back a second time because I was missing a part the first time or didn't like how something turned out.
 
Preparation man! I'm 99% sure I won't run into snags I've been collecting things needed to do this for the past couple weeks, heavily researched everything I'm doing an am feeling pretty positive at this point. Ill get what I get done and leave the rest for nnother day.

I plan on taping the fenders and drawing out my cut then using a pneumatic cut off tool to cut it..... Then I just gotta find a way to attach my landscaping fender flares.... Any ideas?

Yeah, that's were I was for my 8.8 disc swap, and my 4.0 swap. I spent years collecting parts and researching stuff for both of them.


Both took me a month to finish. That's a month each, not a month total.


Also, make sure to coat anything you cut so you don't leave exposed metal.
 
Sounds like a fun day. Why are you cutting the wheel spacers? I don't know if that is a good idea...can you run without them?
