Bill and Ben are looking good mate, that's a cool wheel colour :thumbs:

 

Not sure I could cope with doing all the prep on 2 hoods though! :lol:

 

 

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

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. :)

 Very smart. :bow: 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. :thumbs:

Easy now we’ve got a mould

Now they are nice, I take it your neighbor has a lot of experiance with glass fibre, I’ve done a bit myself but never managed to get a finish like that 👍🏻

He does a lot of reproduction stuff and did my roof when it blew off in the storm a few years back

Fenders look good Chris.  :thumbs:  You'll need to slow down with Bill and Ben though,  unless you have another project lined up to keep you occupied.. :yankchain: 

Ive got a shed full of projects Alan but Pams also got a list and hers  is different to mine

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.

Every detail is perfect to me and as I was viewing your thread the wife came in and was peeking to see what I was looking at. She commented that the grass had red paint on it.............:banghead:
