[QUOTE="boxboy, post: 777734, member: 16089"] I was tired of looking at my bent up front fenders and I really crushed the drivers side last weekend on “Trail of doomâ€, so I decided to build new front fenders. [IMG]http://pic17.picturetrail.com/VOL856/887387/10786717/155621476.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://pic17.picturetrail.com/VOL856/887387/10786717/155621484.jpg[/IMG] I started by drilling out the old seam spot welds. [IMG]http://pic17.picturetrail.com/VOL856/887387/10786717/155621538.jpg[/IMG] with the help of a sawzall I removed the old fenders. [IMG]http://pic17.picturetrail.com/VOL856/887387/10786717/155621522.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://pic17.picturetrail.com/VOL856/887387/10786717/155621530.jpg[/IMG] The jeep looked cool with out front fenders but I want fenders as I am sure I would just crush the hood with out fenders. [IMG]http://pic17.picturetrail.com/VOL856/887387/10786717/155621514.jpg[/IMG] I started by building the fender mounts [IMG]http://pic17.picturetrail.com/VOL856/887387/10786717/155621507.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://pic17.picturetrail.com/VOL856/887387/10786717/155621586.jpg[/IMG] I bent the tubesd and tack them in place. I made pattern pieces out of cardboard so I could test fit everything to make sure I liked the look and to see if I had the proper clearance that I was looking for. [IMG]http://pic17.picturetrail.com/VOL856/887387/10786717/155621565.jpg[/IMG] I free hand cut all the pieces [IMG]http://pic17.picturetrail.com/VOL856/887387/10786717/155621547.jpg[/IMG] Fitted the pieces together and tack welded them together [IMG]http://pic17.picturetrail.com/VOL856/887387/10786717/155621613.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://pic17.picturetrail.com/VOL856/887387/10786717/155621598.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://pic17.picturetrail.com/VOL856/887387/10786717/155643962.jpg[/IMG] I still need to weld everything together and move the charcoal canister for the fuel tank vent as the inner fender well will move back to where the canister is now. Then do what I really hate doing paint them up to make them look perdy. [/QUOTE]
