Alright here is what was done today at my shop. I fitted and adjusted the hood and latch so the gaps are perfect, and she closes perfectly. Straightened out the front bumper brackets and fabed up a couple gussets so the front end has the ability to take down small cows without buckling. :) Had to cut off the front portion/support of the bumper bracket (to be welded back on higher up) along with machining two ½ thick aluminum spacers for the top of the bracket in order to bring the bumper up closer to the grill for a cleaner look. Tomorrow I will final fit the new bumper and grill, Cut the HD hood for the Yukon head lights, and hopefully begin body work on them all.

Using a couple of Trick's pictures as reference (Thanks Trick!) here is where I am...

I don't think I mentioned I'm going with LED corner lights...

Thanks man! When are we going to get your ride down to my shop to cut out those bump stops?

If any mod feels like moving this thing over to general discussions or whatever, go for it. It started out as an interior/audio thread and morphed into all kinds of nonsense...

This is what was done today, Shaved the rear wiper, and started the body work. Started the body work on the HD hood, and the front bracket got finished welded. Also started taking apart the seats to start changing the seat covers over to black. Moving along, Moving along!
