If you are not very good at body job then you may look at 3d printers...

Re: Fenders
 

Thank you Madda!! I was just thinking of those this morning, But couldnt remember what they were called haha just knew it was a printer. I wanna buy one so i can make a "stencil" for my fenders.

Or ya can look up S & P in the vendors section. He has a few different kinds :D

Workshops usually are quite pricy but home 3D printer prices have dropped to a pretty reasonable state lately so why not take one. If you are good in cad then you can make even truck bodies with it... Dang, it would be cool, wouldn't it?:D

Re: Fenders
 

I am good at photoshop... never touched CAD.. could be fun either way haha

Re: Fenders
 

Ok thank you

3D printing is seriously expensive. just a small 3pt hitch bar for a die cast tractor build I did was $175 - so I would guess fenders could be much higher.... but they will turn out exactly as you design them.

Re: Fenders
 

Ah yes those 3d printers. i was thinking of the one for scrapbooking that cuts paper but can cut styrene as well. it uses a razor blade to "draw" your design. i cant find the thread i saw it in over in rc4wd im still looking
