New meats and spare front fenders....[Installed]

Finally got around to having a friend paint my fenders and help me out with the body work, the body work looks clean, however he must have forgotten how to paint that day :surepal:.

Anyways they're black and have clean lines, and I may be able to get away with wet sanding the crap out of them and then polish them up, other than that my sectioning job required a minimal amount of bondo, and I'm satisfied with how the new body lines turned out :D

Dang Greg turned out awesome man. May have to toodle over there a weekend once I get moved
 
They don't look too bad. A good wet sand and polish should take some of that out. If it was free no big deal. Just a lil elbow grease to finish em off. Those cuts came out real nice. Not a lot of people take the time to section them out so well.
 
damn man, those look awesome! one day i'd like to do something like that to my suburban. the fender mods done on the Crewbicon rig are pretty cool too. anyway, nice work!
 
Well just got back from Moab UT, figured I would share some results of the fender trimming.

The inner fender lined up pretty well and I have no rub whatsoever with the axle moved forward 1.5"

My friend has a crappy cam.....:doah:
 
Man, that looks awesome, one of the best I've seen. Looks like you trimmed up the back too. Do you think the rear trim is needed to avoid rub with 37s? I'm curious how you got the inner hooked up too. Did you just bend it back and bolt it up?

Thanks! :D

I'm not sure if the rear needs to be trimmed, I mainly did that to accommodate my rear bumper design for a better departure angle, however I did move the rear axle back 1" to center the tire in the fender well. I don't think the 37s even come close to the sheet metal.

As for the front I pretty much made one simple mod to the inner fender, the rest was a matter of bending it back and bolting it up to the remaining holes....and no hammer required, lol.

I demand pictures of the involuntary modifications done :D

Involuntary modifications? I take it that all the carnage Caleb did to his Go-kachee that week didn't satisfy your craving? :haha:

Well my power steering box decided to make a few alterations to the frame and I had to ghetto weld it back together in the camp ground.....

As for body damage I was nearly an inch away from getting rock rash on the top rear corner of my hatch while going up Escalator on Hell's Revenge, not a single scratch on the truck though.....except for the 14 bolt guardsman, I beat the piss out of that :D
 
That's how the Blazer should have come out of the factory! Excellent work, I will copy your methods to the best of my ability.
