Fender flares -- Vette suspension --progress
This is a progress report. There were some requests for info but they were lost due to the server outage.
For the front, I cut the existing fender flare and used pipe hangar strap to support the lip in the new position. I glassed the bottom first with 4 layers. I removed the strap material and am now filling the gap and glassing the top with 4 layers.
For the rear, I cut off about 0.5 inch of the lip at the top and mounted a pre-made flare using the same strap material. I cut radial slits to form the flare to the fender. I followed with 4 layers of glass on the bottom. The top will get the same 4 layers and be built up to match the contour of the front.
I am using West System epoxy(no odor, no loss of brain cells).
Pictures are available.
