4plus bumper, running boards
Added some 4plus bling, thanks @lcwizard
The bolts holes through the rocker and into the angle iron are sleeved. Tried to get the bumper powder coated to match the factory pewter but ended up too silver.

Hmmmm, I was thinking about getting a set of these. They look nice!!

They are really well made. Dave made these custom length for me because my rockers were cut. They came out great. I plan on painting them to match the body.
 
Got a couple hours in today. Cut a patch for the front part of the wheel well. My springs are flipped so the axle is further back. I let it run long then cut the curve and wrapped the edge piece around so it still has a lip. Still have some grinding to do but it was time for dinner.

That thing is coming along nice, looking good!
 
Some more progress today. Finished grinding the front of the wheel well and then trimmed out the rear. Next up I will tackle the corner and have a complete quarter panel again.

Put the last patch in for the driver's quarter panel. Spent most of my time getting it to line up just right. In the end I messed it up any way. I am going to have to cut the vertical weld and adjust the position a little because its not quite lined up right. It sticks out at the bottom past the cross member.

This weekend I cut and repositioned the patch. Probably a little hard to tell from the pics but the panel is now behind the cross member instead of overhanging it. I will fill the extra holes in the qtr panel and then flip her around in the garage bay so I can get to the other side.
