  • Fender Flares

    Did some more clearancing for my wheels which included making some flares.
    This is the absolute bottom out position of my suspension travel. At this point there is no turning. v


    Mocked up what I needed for a flare out of some 1/8" PVC I had. v

    Covered it with tape so I could get it back off and glassed over it. v


    That gave me clearance to turn the wheel lock to lock at rock bottom. v


    Next I pulled the flare off with the mock-up piece still inside it, and trimmed off the excess after removing the form. v

    Preped the fender( which included cutting away the metal that was originally in the way) and mounted the flare. v


    Did a little filler work to blend it in...v


    And some primer...v

    Made molds so I can reproduce them if needed. v


    I'm not doing anything with the back, but flipped around and with a little work.......they could be put there pretty easy. v

    Keep in mind that fiberglass and messing with molds is something that I have never done before this project. There was a little trial and error.

                        looks good but what would happen if you hit a bump while turning?

                          I think that is full compression of the suspention in those pics?
