Looking good. What color are you painting everything? keeping it a black? or going vibrant?

It is a fiberglass one piece front clip. It is from roadrunner fiberglass. I don't have it. That's what the company sent me. We will see if I can pull together the funds for it. If not I will just do fiberglass fenders instead.

So huge update: the guys who were originally doing my work couldn't come thru because they kept extending the deadline and let's just leave it at that even though there is more to it but my truck has been towed out to my buddy's shop he is running (and he knows his ****) so lost some money because I won't be getting a refund but truck is going to actually meet a deadline now so I will keep you updated guys!!!

Id say listen here you guys have had x amount of days to get this done and you told me it would take you guys x amount of days to do it. So ive been without my vehicle for this long and you cant even finish it. So I expect at least a partial refund and the cost of the towing bill paid if you dont agree then my attorney will be contacting you.

Well here is a big update. Miller raceworks is my buddy's company name and he is taken care of me and my truck has seen more progress in his shop in a day and a half than it did with those guys for 2 weeks so here are some pics from this morning.

Fabricator himself welding my right side on completely
