Got a bunch done on the front clip this weekend! My buddy finished up the other fender and even found time on Saturday to shoot both of them for me. I wasn't expecting that! When I got home from his house, I tore into the inner fenders and started the rust repair. It took a while but I got both done between Saturday afternoon and yesterday. Squirted some paint on them and the core support last night and maybe get to installing them tonight if the weather holds out. I'm also hoping to get it into the exhaust shop on Saturday as well. It's coming right along!
52 years of dirt and rust in here
Patch all welded and sanded smooth, didn't take too much filler on this one
Paint! We have our work cut out for us to make the truck look as good as it can to match the fenders as much as possible before we degrade the finish of the fenders to match the rest of the truck
Driver inner fender had a bunch of rust

Patch all welded in
I also had to rebuild the braces for both sides as well. They aren't perfect but nobody will see them so they are perfect for the truck!
Passenger side had some as well, it went a little quicker than the driver's side because I had a plan and jumped right in
Patch all welded in and primed
Just for fun, I set the core support on the frame to check a couple things. Fresh paint makes everything look great!
That's all I've got for now.
