Finished all fenders, fronts didn’t have much lip so I just heated up the tabs then bent them upward and tucked the fender liner behind. Unfortunately I won’t have time to put the wheels back on and lower it before I leave for vacation Thursday. At least that will give me something to look forward to when I get back, since getting back to Ohio from the beach is always depressing.
So jealous Chris.... I'm still waiting to get a quote from a guy around here.
I’m glad it’s over…it’s kind of scary. But it’s not as hard as I thought, you just have to take your time, you have to have patience. And you have to keep the metal hot…I didn’t in a couple places but it’s on the lip up under the fender so you don’t see it. It can be frusterating because the metal cools so fast, I felt like progress was really slow at first because I'd heat it, do a few rolls, then have to heat it again. The only real problem I ran into was that my rear passenger fender has some bad rust on a part of it. I just need to get that fixed at some point. I also sprayed the inside of the rolled lips with primer and rust preventer just to be safe. Mine aren't perfect, but I"m happy with it being my first time. They look pretty good I think.
If you get someone else to do it, ask them about their process and make sure they have done several quality jobs. And I’d ask them about what happens if they mess up, they should be insured, etc… Not to scare you, your car is just so mint with the new paint and what not.
did some spirited driving down some back roads. now i'm getting a clicking noise from the front passenger wheel area -___-
It's always something, isn't it. I can't keep up with all the new noises I get. haha
