Message: [QUOTE="HobbyStock62, post: 984528, member: 9597"] So this started with me getting a new box because mine was starting to rust. So I found a 2013 take off with the box, tailgate, bumper, and lights already painted my same color for 1000 bucks. I got the box on and was kinda fine with the differences in the wheel arches, but I took some chrome off of the wheel wells and noticed quite the rust hole in the front fender. So then I was contemplating a 2013 front end conversion, but really dont like the headlights or grill on the 2013 and didnt have enough time to get that done before racing season started. So I decided to get crafty. I ordered up some OEM ford 2013 fenders and cut them up. Then I cut up my 2004 fenders to created a hybrid fender of awesomeness. It got kind of difficult at the end of the fender because they are very different, so I had to in a way, make part of the end of the fender just using some sheet metal. It was also difficult because when I welded, it sucked the metal tight, and created for some issues that I had to grind as I went. This was my first body project that I have ever done, so I wasnt really sure what to expect, but I am very happy with how it turned out! here you can see the fender differences [IMG][URL=http://s1013.photobucket.com/user/jonheath12/media/Mobile%20Uploads/2014-04/BE37DB9E-CAE2-4F3C-BACE-F25ADCABA364_zpszzfxx4mi.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1013.photobucket.com/albums/af253/jonheath12/Mobile%20Uploads/2014-04/BE37DB9E-CAE2-4F3C-BACE-F25ADCABA364_zpszzfxx4mi.jpg[/IMG][/URL][/IMG] first cut [IMG][URL=http://s1013.photobucket.com/user/jonheath12/media/Mobile%20Uploads/2014-04/D6CDD53C-A6E6-45E1-B450-5C434A53304A_zpsprxlbsrc.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1013.photobucket.com/albums/af253/jonheath12/Mobile%20Uploads/2014-04/D6CDD53C-A6E6-45E1-B450-5C434A53304A_zpsprxlbsrc.jpg[/IMG][/URL][/IMG] [IMG][URL=http://s1013.photobucket.com/user/jonheath12/media/Mobile%20Uploads/2014-04/86F9C623-9321-4518-A072-EFCFC1D4AF8B_zpsgnlejpqa.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1013.photobucket.com/albums/af253/jonheath12/Mobile%20Uploads/2014-04/86F9C623-9321-4518-A072-EFCFC1D4AF8B_zpsgnlejpqa.jpg[/IMG][/URL][/IMG] [IMG][URL=http://s1013.photobucket.com/user/jonheath12/media/Mobile%20Uploads/2014-04/B8C43060-3D15-4EFE-A701-38558F5B7447_zps7wvxmklh.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1013.photobucket.com/albums/af253/jonheath12/Mobile%20Uploads/2014-04/B8C43060-3D15-4EFE-A701-38558F5B7447_zps7wvxmklh.jpg[/IMG][/URL][/IMG] [IMG][URL=http://s1013.photobucket.com/user/jonheath12/media/Mobile%20Uploads/2014-04/0AE16404-98FD-4933-8F83-AB02AFF9A8E4_zpsnmbx0zhq.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1013.photobucket.com/albums/af253/jonheath12/Mobile%20Uploads/2014-04/0AE16404-98FD-4933-8F83-AB02AFF9A8E4_zpsnmbx0zhq.jpg[/IMG][/URL][/IMG] [IMG][URL=http://s1013.photobucket.com/user/jonheath12/media/Mobile%20Uploads/2014-04/6318A3D1-7E3C-4028-89D8-283B896AB374_zpslwysbksq.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1013.photobucket.com/albums/af253/jonheath12/Mobile%20Uploads/2014-04/6318A3D1-7E3C-4028-89D8-283B896AB374_zpslwysbksq.jpg[/IMG][/URL][/IMG] [IMG][URL=http://s1013.photobucket.com/user/jonheath12/media/Mobile%20Uploads/2014-04/B8551C22-59FF-421E-BB31-D00C4AD45BFC_zpsfo5dyzey.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1013.photobucket.com/albums/af253/jonheath12/Mobile%20Uploads/2014-04/B8551C22-59FF-421E-BB31-D00C4AD45BFC_zpsfo5dyzey.jpg[/IMG][/URL][/IMG] [IMG][URL=http://s1013.photobucket.com/user/jonheath12/media/Mobile%20Uploads/2014-05/284D58BD-60A0-43B6-A79B-7403943B89D8_zpsodowqwa7.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1013.photobucket.com/albums/af253/jonheath12/Mobile%20Uploads/2014-05/284D58BD-60A0-43B6-A79B-7403943B89D8_zpsodowqwa7.jpg[/IMG][/URL][/IMG] [IMG][URL=http://s1013.photobucket.com/user/jonheath12/media/Mobile%20Uploads/2014-05/1A3DCEB3-0F13-4B92-803E-305DE1156B1B_zpsiva7m52f.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1013.photobucket.com/albums/af253/jonheath12/Mobile%20Uploads/2014-05/1A3DCEB3-0F13-4B92-803E-305DE1156B1B_zpsiva7m52f.jpg[/IMG][/URL][/IMG] [IMG][URL=http://s1013.photobucket.com/user/jonheath12/media/Mobile%20Uploads/2014-05/92739C42-1E0B-4F26-A732-90D3B88AF16C_zpsm1wyvjsw.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1013.photobucket.com/albums/af253/jonheath12/Mobile%20Uploads/2014-05/92739C42-1E0B-4F26-A732-90D3B88AF16C_zpsm1wyvjsw.jpg[/IMG][/URL][/IMG] [/QUOTE]
