I'm probably lopsided or something but how come in both pics of your guys' rigs it look like the left side is leaned out a bit??

Sorry if i sound critical

Ok, Mr. Critical...zoom in on the pics & you'll notice the fenders are being held on by clamps...they're not welded on or attached yet, that's why my left fender looks lopsided.... in all seriousness, i noticed that mudman's left fender was also crooked

hey that's why i said both of you guys' not just one

Mine was leaning out a bit from pulling the fender in. You could push it back up straight so a little bracing would have fixed the lean.

 

[Randy92782]

What kinda grill you got in your rig mudman?? Sorry for the hijack

all i can say is baddd asss rigs men...now i just hope i have a job tommorow to get this finnished.

If and when you get around to doing a taper, when I did mine the fenders had a definite desire to lean out as well. Inside the tail i braced mine up to the tube work to help keep things straight.

Ok I have to jump in the mix, when you guys do the front fenders do you cut slice cuts in the inner structure or just remove it all together? And do you do the same to the top of the fender to get it to arc inward?

My inner structure is totally removed. I did cut slices in the upper part of the fender in teh horizontal plane to give the fender some place to collapse in on itself. Relief cuts I guess you'd call them. Of course welded them back together when it was done.

Ok thats what I thought, MAN Im serously thinking about this now, DAMNIT. I should not if I want to keep it somewhat street legal right?
