Re: Extra wide rear fender wells ?
If I couldn't find what I wanted readily, I'd consider splitting them down the middle from front to back and adding in a 2"-6" wide band of similar thickness sheet metal. It would take some careful fab and welding work to keep them aligned, but I think it could be done.
Later model fenders as I recall are more of a "compound curve" making this idea less feasible.

Re: Extra wide rear fender wells ?
Just take two stocke ones and make your center marks front to back than add 1/2 of how ever much you want to widen them to each side, cut them on the new offset line and weld away. Here is a bad pic of mine I did about 8+ yrs ago and they are 7" over stock.
If you plan it right you can do it with only one extra tub ![]() Kevin LFD Inc. |

Re: Extra wide rear fender wells ?
Tranz am:
I have a very nice set of wheel housings widened to 18 inches that I am planning to sell. I have offered them to a board member who previously expressed interest and am waiting to hear back. If he passes I will list them on the for sale board. If you post your email address I will send you some pictures. |

Re: Extra wide rear fender wells ?
If you have Kevin's skills you can do that, but that means two weld lines in each tub [one on each side of the new piece], so I bought two new tubs joined them, then joined the two stock ones, two welds lines total. I added 5.5".
