Question to those that have used the bat or any other system of this type , do you trim the outer lip on the edge of the fender down or off completely , leave it in place ?? Just what prep to the fender is preformed prior to using a bat or a device such as the one mentioned / pictured ?? It does seem to be a two people job , especially with the bat , could some of you guys that have done this chime in , it would also be a great thread to add to the classic forum for a good reference.
Thanks ...... Jack / Jaxdream |

Thanks ...... Jack / Jaxdream the folded over edge of the rolled fender can be a water/mud trap, you can trim it (be sure to file the sharp edges off) to prevent this being a water trap, but that would preclude you from returnign the fender lip to original is you ever so desire. if you do have a water/mud trap and dont remove it, at least make sure you re-paint that area inside the wheel well real good, with a quality paint after you have scuffed up the original paint. there is a good chance the orignal inner paint will be compromised at the bend. water trap plus compromised paint will lead to rust thru eventually. a fianl coat with a good seam sealer woudl not be a bad idea also. rust is the enemy, plan for it, seal and paint stuff, avoid water/mud trap and yor car may just live long !!! yippie!!!! |
