So, I thought I was cruising along with this project and when I went to get the front end all buttoned up I was unpleasantly suprised by just how out of whack it all was. After searching and staring and scratching my head I realized my error. I had mistakenly used the rear tire well pieces as part of the inner front fenders. Also accounted for why I didn't have the correct panels for the rear. This photos shows the two panels- the top panel being the part for the front inner fender and the bottom being the rear tire well.
After taking the truck apart to practically starting over I was able to start putting it back to gether. I have the front inner spaces re-installed and I am now working on the outer left panel. I have learned that if the two panels aren't lined up properly the front wing piece that has the light in it will not sit properly and will mess up the front on the truck. The corners of both the innner and outer wing panels need to be flush with the base of the light panel as well as being level with each other so that the wing top will sit flat and look correct.
So, here we are again, starting over and getting it right. Still planning on getting the tub built up in the next few days.
