OP is going to create a spreadsheet detailing how much everything costs/total cost and add it to his first post

Finished product looks good but the lines on the hood doesn't really match up with the front grill now, that doesn't bother you?

Nope doesnt bother me at all. I was going more for the functionality of the whole front being wider to fit my wheels

Turned out good. Makes me wanna do this conversion.

Do you plan on going lower? Cause I think it would compliment the conversion a lot

Oh wow that's some nice specs. You'll have a lot of cutting and pulling and relocating bumper tabs ahead of you

Yes, yes i do lol! I was thinking about cutting it about the flat fender line along the curve horizontally and pulling it and doing sheet metal to the inside and out. For the bumper tabs i wanted to move it further back and heat the bumper to mold it out along with the contour of the new fender line. Just an idea but i wont know for sure till i get into it.

Yeah, I would shave along the fender lip. Don't roll. There's two layers of epoxy along the fender lip two seal the paint, I would shave past the first line and before the one closest to your exterior body if that makes any sense at all lol. Sorry haha

I rolled and pushed the body so far using a eastwood fender roller. I heated the paint so it wouldnt crack but after a point of pushing it started cracking anyways. The inside of the fender is completely flat and it still doesnt clear the wheels lol
