| This
shows both of the fenders installed after
widening. The tape line on the left fender
shows where we'll cut them off. |
|
|
|
|
| As
you can see from this angle, the fenders will
need to be trimmed off and reshaped. |
|
|
|
|
| The
rear of the fenders are trimmed and rounded.
Next we need to get the flare in them. |
|
|
|
|
| The
rear of the fenders need to kick up to match the
rear roll pan. We used florist foam because it
shapes easy and then we will fiberglass over
this when we get the correct shape. |
|
|
|
|
| Paint
paddles are used to help the fiberglass dry
flat. |
|
|
|
|
| Now
the fenders are beginning to take shape. |
|
|
|
|
| The
flare matches the rear of the car. |
|
|
|
|
| Here's
another example of using the florist foam. The
tricky part of all this is getting the front of
the fenders to flare into the body to match the
concept drawing. We are dealing with several
different compound curves here. |
|
|
|
|
| Here's
a front view of the flare. |

the fender after being removed from the car. |
