Started work on the front inner fenders also. I wanted it to match the frame better and make them a bit wider for more tire clearance.
There is no need for the control arm hole to be so big so it was brought out to the edge of the control arm mount about 3/8" clearance all the way around. Also the back side was lengthened so it covers the sub frame more, keeping some tire debris off the subframe and firewall.
Tim is real good at working metal. Shrinking, stretching, and using a big hammer he made the crown in the metal and gave the front inner fenders more tire clearance.

There will be a bit more detail in them but that will be on the next update.



Here is the driver side almost done.

Very nice work Tim!
Thanks for sharing, Bob! It's a much needed detail when using those frames/suspension!

Why? It won't be that bad and I don't plan on doing it too many times

It looks like it's going to be tricky getting shims in place.
