Man that thing is looking SWEET! Like the way you modified the bumper. How are you liking the column shift? :thup:

I like the old school feel, but adding power steering was a BEAR!!!!
We are enjoying the challenge, though!
Thanks for the comment!

If you are asking about my front roll pan, I did have it locally fabricated. We used the original sheet metal from behind the front bumper, cut off the ends of the frame horns flush, and then rebraced the front. We added a front end cap to the original sheet metal from the bumper valance and made our roll pan. We then grinded the edges and smoothed it. Fortunately, it turned out good. Thanks for the comments!

Awesome looking! I want to fill in the bed seam that runs along the top of the bump. How did you do this and achieve a good straight line when done?
