my 98 stepside project

Fenders looked like crap ...lol

Started on the drivers side rear tho..

Had to not only raise it, but had to widen it so tires don't rub the side when dragging.

I hate SMC, but it does soak matt better than fiberglass resin. Recessed a factory tail light lense I cut apart to use as a backer plate for shaving the light. Had it wrapped in masking tape, so it popped right out from the back side.

Also got the gas door shaved. Just cut it out with a dremel and wrapped a piece of sheet metal with masking tape for a backer board till the resin dried. Did the back first then the front. Came out nicely for once. Just needs a little skim of filler..

Can't wait to one day be finished.. it's really hard to not just say screw it and throw a fleetside bed on it and be done.

So bummed about the front fenders.

They make it look like a late 80s Toyota 4x4
