I have to start somewhere

[BadBird]

Sorry I didn't see the post on your work. I will go back through the forum and see what you did. That is probably the best method to get me access and make it look good also. Thanks. Should have known you already did this. Must be why I didn't notice it in your pictures because it looks so normal. Larry

Well, it sort of does. Here's a link to where you can start reading on it.

I found the posts and I love the look you got by adding the triangle piece instead of just having the front and back the same. Wow, your workmanship is phenomenal. I will have to start looking for those front fenders now I guess. If anyone has a couple of them sitting around let me know. Again, Roger, your abilities are beyond anything I could imagine. Not sure I am up to doing as good as you did, but I will try anything ONCE. Thanks Larry

I think, if I were to do it over - or if I were to get big tires - I would have done some pie cuts on this inner fender and eliminated the flat lip. Since my tires don't come close I'm not concerned, but for a drag car it might be needed.

Not sure I understand, do you mean that plate hanging down in the upper left area of the wheel well? Larry

Larry, If you compare these two pictures I think it explains it better. I didn't bring the inner fender tub close to the outer skin because I would have needed to cut some V pie cuts and weld in some V patches to push that inner tub outward towards the outer skin of the body. Instead, if you notice the earlier picture, I just made a flat bridge between the two. So if the tire was, say a flat drag style, it might hit it. The second image (done quickly via Photoshop) shows this "bridge" gone and the inner tub going to the lip of the flare opening. I could still do this in the future if I decide to.

The metal on the left hanging down is the pinch weld between floor and tub, which could easily be cut off and welded differently. A lot if this will be different especially if you plan to do a mini-tub for bigger than Falcon normal tires. I'm still basing most of my suggestions on the "gasser" theme you mentioned a while back. You might be thinking differently now.

Larry - I just read on Facebook where the guy who went to that wrecker over in Bremerton said the 62-3 cars there had rear quarters and front fenders. What shape they are in isn't clear and he didn't take pictures. I might have to go have a look for myself if you can't make it. Weather allowing, of course. I'm not sure when I can go, but I'd caravan over with you some day we can arrange it.

Roger, I would like to go see what they have. Haven't looked at the weather reports lately, but I am game any day. I would bring Carol. She has to be with me in case I have a medical episode. Being an old fart is troublesome, but old is better than not getting older. Larry
