Default Color-Matched Front End

I started last night by taking the grill and bumper cap off and started prepping them. Woke up early this morning and took the bumper off and began prepping it. The bumper was in really bad shape. It had 2 very large dents. 1 dent was bad enough to crease the bumper horn in. I was able to repair both almost 100%. I also recently replaced the hood because it was damaged pretty badly. All of the damage was done before i got the truck. I still have to replace the passenger side bedside and do some work on the cab but that will be done once i get another vehicle so i can tear this thing down. All of this is temporary because the truck is getting the 03-05 front end right before i repaint the whole truck. There was never a bumper valence on the truck when i got it so i have to go pick one up this week. Once that is all said and done i think it will look great. Overall im pretty happy with the progress i made today.

The chevy emblem will be going on tomorrow after i get some black paint.

Sorry about the bad pics i finished late. I will get some better pictures tomorrow.
