Front end missing

We got the front end off the truck doing body work on the fenders and grille. All the fenders have been blocked and will start priming and blocking them again tomorrow. Takes a lot of priming and blocking to get a smooth paint job. It sure feels good to be working on this again. Photobucket changed their format and I am tring to relearn how it works.

I don't think I've ever seem a front suspension like that. Is it hand crafted or is it from a donor vehicle you transplanted?

That's just the color combination I'm looking at for my panel. Nice job, and great taste.
