Re: slammed 57
I wanted to go with a wide harley rear fender. I was going split it down the middle and cut it to the size i needed.. I liked how curved it was and thought it would look pretty clean.....but radius is only 27" and i really needed about 32" radius... so I will probably go with mongocanfly type tub...

Re: slammed 57
I used a trailer fender, you can find them with a larger radius. I split it down the middle, welded a flange on them and covered the open side.

Re: slammed 57
Thanks morrie but the radius just won't work and would have to really have to put too much time into them even if i could make them work

Re: slammed 57
Thanks bud... I did look at those and they look great . but I need them about 9" wide and would have to cut them up to get it there... I just hate to pay so much for something i still need to cut into

Re: slammed 57
I'm late to the party, but I'm in for the rest. You've done some great work so far. Love 57s and the floating grille!

Re: slammed 57
Ok well, I saw this done on the forum and had to do it. rounded off the corners. something so little really changes the look of the tailgate end. I saw these grinder wheels at home depot last year and saw the price of one for $7.95. I thought man! that's way too much money for 1 disc. Well, I broke down and bought one and boy was I missing out all this time. It really does a nice job with finishing the welds off its like night and day compared to the other flat discs. I highly recommend them now.
I also installed these stealth tailgate latches. cool little latches |

Re: slammed 57
I'm with you on the flap discs. I just found out about them a couple of years ago. I believe it was Benchmark Abrasives that did recent 10 flap disc giveaway on Facebook. May still be going on. All 10 were free but you had to pay $10 for shipping. Great deal at a buck a piece. Enjoying watching your build.
BTW, just found Benchmark is still doing the promotion: Benchmarkabrasives.com Promo Code: FREEMIX
