Very nice Ed. Aluminum fenders? They sure turned out great. How did you roll them? Mini english wheel?

Nathan I used a stretcher an english wheel and then made a mold out of a 2x4 with fiberglass in it to finish then off and press the aluminum in by hand ( THUMB ) into the mold to finish them off. Ed

WOW, awesome looking fenders Ed.

Wow, Ed. Definitely a labor of love, but worth it. These have to be some of the nicest fenders I've seen. You could probably polish them up, and leave them raw, like the Peterbilt 379X.

Great job Ed. How will you fasten them?

JAMMER 03-08-2013 11:49 AM

Re: 379 Pete
 
The fenders are already fastened I used some Aluminum Fiber Compound I got from Eastwood it is a fine aluminum in a base like fiber glass filler. Ed
