Front Sheetmetal On

Bob Ertzinger and Tony Cetta came down yesterday and really helped me install the front sheet metal on the Ford.
I had painted the under side of the front fenders with a bed liner type of material by DuPont. This is to try to keep any rocks picked up by the tire treads from putting spider webs in the top paint. Hope it works.  We put the right upper and lower fender together first. Then we put the right running board on, which also attaches to the rear of the front fender.
Next we put the left top front fender on and then the grill was installed. Next the left lower fender went on and then the left running board.  Quite a lot for the day. We ran out of Stainless Steel 5/16 bolts so called it a day. I couldn't have done it with out those two guys.  Got more bolts and nuts today. Still have three smaller pieces to install on the very nose.  Need to finish up wiring the front head lights and parking lights first.
Gonna take a break for a week. Headed to Maui.  Life is good.
