Started out Sunday morning getting a little done on the truck. I welded in the reinforcement on the RR fender so it's finished now ready for stripping and primer.

Got the lower grille apron all finished up, welded in the piece that had been cut out on the top. I decided to do it like Chevy would have and just plug weld the piece on the top and not butt weld it and finish it off like it never was cut out. I also repaired the bracket where it bolts to the rad support. So this part is finished up ready for stripping and primer too.
