yaa its 2 layers deep so i didnt know how to cut just the inner one out and then bend the outer one over since they have about a 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch gap between depending how high you are on the body

Ah i would of used the drill and jigsaw method then.
Or take what you cut out and weld it back in as a cover of some sort?
Or remove inner fender, cut, install bend.
Most people just smooth out the radius a bit, then gap fill. You can do it really sweetly and fold the piece over, make a series of small notches, then fold it over or simply cut it out like you did. That Spray foam x3 insulation works wonders for gap filling and lasts forever (including on you skin). If you have some really sharp edges and can't weld or bend a piece to fit, then maybe just split some vacuum line and silicon it onto the sharp stuff.
i like the hose i dea there ..once i get it more to a final shpe i may have to do that gives it kind of a nice finished look also ...i did take a file to it at least so its not super sharp but if you put alot of pressure into it will sill prob cut you
Ha....all I have to do is look at sharp metal and I start leaking the red stuff...

well a minor accident did alot of dmg to the old girl lil car hit me in the trailer hitch and it bent the nuts out of the frame ....the license plate holder had to be bent up to fit around the hitch so thats how far it moved down
holy smokes, I hope you got their insurance info
it happened about a wek and a half ago lol i just noticed when at the run on the 15 comparing trucks
Looks like you can basically use a jack to get that back into place and replace and shim the bolts/hanger to re anchor it. Be glad the hitch was there...
ya it might be better than having them hit the gas tank and skid plate so that i have to find another one again
Hey Robert the rig looks good, I applaud the work you've done. Quick question about your seats. Mugen is a VERY popular JDM (Japanese Domestic Market) after market company that specializes in Honda and Acura parts mainly for racing. Are these seat covers or is the Mugen brand name actually on the seats. Reason I ask is because if their authentic they would catch a pretty penny for a tuner looking for some good JDM seats on craigslist. This would probably enough for some better rig seats and some left over for other things.
nope they are mugen seats and i have the 4 point harnesses for them also just took em out of the truck
There's not alot for sale from mugen on ebay as a reference point but I made a few calls to some tuner buddies and they said depending on the shape, if sold locally they might catch around $150-$250 for the pair. It might be worth seeing if there are any shops around the area that sell both racing and 4x4 parts and see if they'd be willing to do a trade. If not try craigslist, you shouldn't have any problem selling them for a few bucks.
okie i got a CB from one my dads long time friends chuck R. and i must thank him for this as he said either happy late christmas or early bday and my dad bought me an antena and got himself a cb and a mag antena .....mine is all in and will be tuned tomorrow (i lost power to the radio though for seme reason) my dad decided to replace his ash tray which he never uses with the cb for a much more professional look
What did you pull power off of to get the power to your cb?
uhh if i can get my camera at the right angle i have 2 spots on the fuse box with "shunts" (spacers far as i could tell) test light told me one is power full time and one is ignotion on position (i went full power) and bought this cool little add a circuit thing to fit in the fuse slot and have a fuse in it to run power to it so its on its own circuit
That's what I did for my CB. Just the add-a-fuse things and wired it to the power leads.
