Thanks for the encouragement Jeff, no experience at metal fab so I need all I can get.

I replaced my 55-59 drivers rear fender with a 60-66 fender, the 55-59 fenders are measurably and noticeably narrower than the 60-66. Shout out to TJ for shipping me a nice fender and informing me that I did have a 55-59 fender.

While I worked on replacing the fender I drove it around with a chopped barden bumper, I cut it short to remove some length from the straight part of the bumper and it looks better than it did already, it also weighs quite a bit less, like mentioned above, you could also cut the upper clevis plate out to reduce weight.
