The re-pop fenders kinda suck ???? the originals were real ruff and rusty. We have a process with powdercoat to simulate the patina. Stay Tuned

Can't wait to see the PC process for simulating patina. Are you going to have a step by step process, or is it top secret?

kart34 · 01-20-2011, 10:22 PM

we will show the process stay tuned

Mechanic77 · 01-20-2011, 11:59 PM

Do you mind me asking....where did you get your fenders? They look like they fit pretty well

Dinos63 · 01-21-2011, 12:46 AM

nice work duudes!!!

Delmo · 01-21-2011, 01:30 AM

Man I can't wait to see those wheels stuffed under there.

kart34 · 01-21-2011, 08:10 AM

77, I purchased the fenders on E-Bay the fenders fit fairly well but they do not fit the grille / header panel at all. We may have to cut these up and us the front half of the stock GM fenders.

Dirty Doug · 01-21-2011, 09:06 AM

Cutting the fenders in half and using the Gennie fronts will be cool! Matching the powder to patina will be a great trick. You can't let that secret totally out. The Technology challenged shops that bad mouth you and try to copy you may get a clue!!!
Just sayin...

Great Build Guys!!!!!! Also waiting for the new-old patina.

That's what I was afraid of....my fenders aren't too bad, but the main rust on them is on the fronts of them

Went to NAPA and bought a set of repair bearings for the outer axle bearing cost $40.00 . drilled out the back of the stock backing plate to allow brake adjustment from the backing plate instead of the drum and was ready to go the old school way.

cost 75.00 machine work, 40.00 repair bearings , 25.00 studs, 80.00 brake drums total $220.00

Kieth, I also had a local tool and die shop turn them down and re drill $100.00 Paul Teig Machine

Mechanic77 · 01-25-2011, 09:53 AM

Am I correct in assuming that you didn't modify the bumper it self, just shortened the front part of the frame?

kart34 · 01-25-2011, 10:37 AM

yes Jesse sectioned out a 1" piece from the frame
