    I see! I was looking into getting my hood painted but I got a quote from maaco for $350 and that was way over budget but I bet that is just the price

    you try car crafters? Jeremy is the only other place i would recommend. first time he painted my truck it was 2g for full paint and prep, bed liner, fender liner, custom painted wheels, and some nics and dents pulled. this last time it cost triple that cause i rolled the damn thing lol but he got everything fit perfect. id just give him a call and see if he can do any better

    made some steps today. got the cross member fitted up, still minor trimming. but all that hassle for a little critical piece. i could have had the front kit already done and on the truck if it wasn't for that piece cut out. THANKS A LOT DESERT RAT

    some pics
    made a boo boo on this one so just laid some lines down and re-cut it. still have to trim more off this
    [​IMG]

    driver side fit (not done)
    [​IMG]

    passenger fit, need some little fillers. some gaps are to big to fill with welds.
    [​IMG]

    overal fit. happy with the progress.
