Ok guys here is those pictures I promised you that cowl was ugly but a couple of junk fenders and a plasma cutter and a big welder made quick work of it it's seam sealed painted and the truck is back together
It's definitely not my best work but I banged it out in record time. When I got up this morning I had no idea I was repairing a cowl. I did manage to do the shackle bushing I had set out to that was actually quite easy because it all ready had an aftermarket bushing in it
driving home it felt like it actually has working front suspension what a difference one bushing can make.
I think the icing on the cake today was the fender getting paint on it and I couldn't resist putting the emblem on for the first time
It's back together and home now we shall see what tomorrow brings
