Did you build the 48676 or the 1029? I would think it would be much easier to buy a new 48676 sponson (I am guessing that is what you built) that already has all of the correct holes pre drilled for the 1029 and the fender bolts so that everything lines up as it should. The price is not all that much different once you add up all the time and material. JMHO.

Mines for a 1029. I already had all the holes on the jeep, And you could see an outline on the paint where it was so it was pretty easy. Im really happy with it. I got my radio equipment in this week from Tony Banks and today is my day off. Needless to say I was motivated to get it put together. we are doing a Name display tomorrow at an airshow. so that put some extra oomph.. into getting it done.
