All the credit goes to my son Steve for the hood work, Don’t know what I would have done without him Made a start on the rear fenders, i cut the boot floor out of a Scenic that my son was scrapping. I thought I would get 4 fenders but not to be Took ages to clean them up and the tin isn’t very thick 2 Triumph66 and Stormin reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the showman 4,074 #205 Posted April 3, 2020 Once finished they had the right shape i was looking for but very flimsy so I’m not going to use them. Luck I’ve got a plan B 2 Stormin and Triumph66 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

the showman 4,074 #207 Posted April 5, 2020 And on to plan “B”, with the help of my neighbour took a mould off the original Sububan fender and added a couple of strengthening ribs. Made one pair and fitted them to Ben to see what they looked like, I’m so pleased gonna make another pair for Bill. Even put red dye in the gel coat. 6 expeatfarmer, Stormin, pmackellow and 3 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stormin 4,458 #208 Posted April 5, 2020 Very smart. Lucky to have a neighbour like that. Now how about the pair of you doing reproductions? Could be a nice little earner. Only make when ordered. 2 Cub Cadet and the showman reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alan 1,273 #212 Posted April 5, 2020 Fenders look good Chris. You'll need to slow down with Bill and Ben though, unless you have another project lined up to keep you occupied.. 1 the showman reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

the showman 4,074 #217 Posted April 7, 2020 Just spent the day doing a few little jobs before painting begins and replaced all the transmission oil seals. Nice little package arrived in the post from Machinery Decals, Titch is really top man for Wheelhorse decals, I’m really pleased with the. I think they will really add the final touch to the build. 4 Stormin, Alan, TITCH and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
