Over the years I have seen several cars with the rear fenders burped out a bit like the car of the month.
How is that done and how do you get both sides the same? |

Making fenders match. That's funny. Well, you work the metal and then you measure and you do it again and again and again, and you invite your neighbor over for some advice and you drink a beer and you think about how it ought to work and you hope the metal doesn't fatigue before you get the shape and you weld in some more metal.
And you give up and hire someone else to do it and they make you hand over a larger amount of money than you want to spend and they do a reasonable job. Maybe not perfect, but since you are worn out, you go on to the next project. And the people who look at it , don't ever notice that its off by a fraction of an inch. Every time you look at it you see ever flaw. You should try it! Its fun and rewarding |
