[TxDrewski]

Just posted about this swap and happened to come across the front clip sooner and cheaper than I thought. 1000 for Hood, Core Support, Bumper, Headlights and Fenders. parts are summit white, so Im thinking they should color match to mine and paint wont be needed. picking the parts up this weekend and Kendrick Fabrications, Owned by a friend here in Lufkin who built my Dodge Baja/Truggy frame. We will update with pics as the build continues! Guys gimme pointers if you have any.

I think the trick is to make the fender lip look similar and to add the groove that's on the doors to the fenders. Somewhere on this forum is a picture of one

Well what u was talking about is all body work. But if you send me the address I can try to make it down there after this weekend. We are going to be at Lake Whitney all weekend

Ahhh okay yeah I dont wanna interfere with plans lol. Justin has done some front end swaps on the tahoes but it was the "cat eye" front. Im 100% confident he can do it, I just fear going all the way down there and the body parts being damaged or something. But hey, for 1000 bucks I suppose I can work with what Ive got.
