Ground-up Flat Fender Build

So... we are working on a flatty. Well we have wagoneer axles and a Chevy drivetrain, but there will be some flatty. In all reality I'm just building a 4x4 that will look like a jeep. Not much jeep, but still a fun build. Hopefully I can retain the nostalgia of the icon while still having a modern and reliable 4x4. Enjoy!

Fenders

I welded up my tow bar mounts. Also good for winch points.
Finished up the skeleton of the highline fenders.

Wheel opening match much better now and I can use more of the available wheel travel.

Thanks for the tailgate dad-in-law. A very nice addition to what is shaping up to be a jeep with some serious character.


I won't cut the hood until I'm absolutely sure I'm happy with the fenders. It is probably pointless to resist though because it looks soo good and I really need the room.

I will probably mount this light bar here for the time being. The front end doesn't look quite so wide and out of proportion now, but it is still pretty wide. I had forgotten how much narrower the body of a flat fender is. On my yj these axles were near stock width.
