Thank you, Wayne. It sure takes a long time, though...

very nice work on those fenders :cheers:

Thank you!

Quick progress update- still building the passenger inner fender. Making it symmetrical, by hand, is time consuming. It's still not symmetrical. I can see major differences. The only comforting fact is that these parts were never truly symmetrical from the factory. Since I'll have things like the master cylinder and steering components on one side it'll help hide this. I still have a lot of work to do....

Wow, nice detail work. I would have never thought about doing that with the fenderwells. :hail:

They look very asymetrical, completely distorted will make your car run slower and spend more gas with all the extra weight and bigger tires that will fit. I think you need to ship them to Northern Cal :D JK killer work!!

Cool, thanks!

I got a day in this weekend to work on refining the inner half of my passenger wheel well. It took some pounding, some slicing, more pounding, etc. I also made the recessed area in front for the hoop supports. It's starting to look reasonably close. I'll be in Vegas next week/ weekend for SEMA so this will get a little break. Then I'll get back to building the outer half.

Its looking good!

Thanks again, Wayne!

Wow, finally got back into the garage this weekend, even though it was only a few hours. Last weekend I stayed the weekend in Vegas after SEMA as my folks flew into town to visit...

This weekend I was able to cut the flange off the passenger fender and weld up the inner wall, as well as cut out a new flange and get that tacked into place. I made a template off the driver side so I could reasonably match it up. I'll then build the outer half of the inner fender to match it.

Got a little more done this weekend- finished up the inner passenger fender.
I also started on those inner fender brackets. Fortunately, those don't need a lot of fabricating. I'll be removing the pressed in nuts on the brackets and relocating them to the flange on the firewall as the bracket will be located on the inner side of that now. Also, only 2 of the bolt holes line up now so I'll turn it into an opportunity to trim them down.

Some weekends even though I spend full two days in the garage it still doesn't seem like I accomplished much. I finished up the inner fender brackets, sand blasted them (as well as a few other parts) and painted them, installed my doors, added more braces up front to the chassis (something I was thinking about that I should have done sooner) I like the result of adding these as it'll help support the lower control arm, but, as my neighbor pointed out this is smack dab in the way of where my anti sway bar will go. I'll have to ditch the one from my DSE kit and go with a different style that locates lower. I also spent some time thinking about my cage and exhaust and made a couple of rough sketches. Too rough to post, so I'll make new (presentable) ones and post them later.
