My 07-13 front-end conversion. Would this go here or in the fabrication forum?

That's pretty cool! I saw in 4WD and Off road someone did that to a 2 door blazer as an off road vehicle. Looked pretty cool, But this looks better. Would love to see what process you did to blend it all together.

I saw that also, I believe they used fiberglass fenders and no inners though

Thanks for all the kind words, fellas. I'll be putting an album together at some point and posting it up.

Thanks. My original plan was to keep the factory hood too and reshape the front to hold the hood trim, but I had to can that because it just wouldn't look right. I like the body line of the gmt400 and my factory fender flares so they had to stay. I had to cut all the outer fender skin from the inner behind the light, drill out the spot welds on the fender lip, slice the top of the fender, stretch everything out to meet the new lights, fabricate a new light opening, and then weld everything back up. It was fun.
