Hitch is in

Finished installing the trailer hitch last week before the cold weather hit. Had to modify it a little to get it to fit. Cut off  8 inches of the forward mounting tangs and used those parts to beef up the other two frame mounting points on each side. Pretty strong now and if nothing else, it protects the gas tank somewhat. The weather has kept me inside and working on wood projects for a while.
Need to turn the chassis around in the garage so I can work on the front sheet metal. I would like to put in new front inner fender well panels. The existing ones have quite a few factory holes that would need to be welded up, and one side has a lot of rust pits. I think new metal would look nicer. The top of those pieces are curved and the outer fenders attach to them. I need to figure out how to make new metal while possibly incorporating the top part of those curves. Head scratching time.
Headed to Panama after Thanksgiving for another house setting job for a month. Will be back the second week of January. Gonna be colder then. Hope you all have a great Christmas.
