okay so did you take out the rivets holding the overfender on when you did the molding?

Not a bad write up. More pics are always better. Is that your car in the bottom two pics? If so very nice, maybe I'll see you cruising around IL.

so why didnt you just leave the rivets and bondo over them? that would have made it stronger, which is always better, and made it a hell of a lot easier. but nice write up none the less

Yes that is my car in the bottom two.

I did not use rivets because it was a smoother transition.

Fiberglass and panel bonding glue are very strong probably as good as rivets

i did it last year w/ sportmax's lmao

good writeup.. and panel bond is very very strong and what he used... is actually used on most cars these days, i use to work at a body shop and we used the same compound to put box sides on, 1/4 panels and all those things

i didnt put it on like you though because i used rivets and just filled the holes when i bonded it on and molded it on. good job

i might do it again if i repaint my car now... lol

it'd be nicer if it were step by step.
numbered.

im sure its asking for alot, but for a write up, you'd want to have it pretty straight forward.

step by step with pictures = good.

everyone who has widebody fenders, make sure to not do anything in this writeup, its retarded

are you fucking serious about that? is that fender done???

everyone who is doing widebody

make sure to cut at LEAST 1 inch above the body crease

the way that fender is cut, the shit will cut your tire in half if you tuck like .02 inches of tire.
