Did my best to keep the exterior welds to a minimal to reduce grinding time, but not enough experience for that yet. The structural interior welds I was pretty pleased with, the amount of exterior welds is not so good. But nothing a little (well..quite a lot actually lol) grinding and body filler won't fix.
Id day i have another solid day of grinding and body filler finishing and then another full day of pulling it off for primer and paint.

Great work so far, can’t wait for the final product on that front end! Hope the new front end body lines up with that bumper, or at least close enough since you knocked it out first lol.
Wish I had 1/10th of those skills, the equipment, tools, and knowledge to do myself. As of now a big job for me was installing my lift and minor electrical stuff. My soon to be installed Victory Blitz front steel bumper (preassembled and powder coated of course) and Victory roof rack bolted on and all of this has been new territory for me.
