Sheridan fender fitment questions v.1.0, =-) Options

[Dr. Roger]

these flared fenders have the door opener indents built into the fenders.

i'm trying to figure out the proper way to affix these fenders but i'm just not getting it.

i was thinking of just screwing the whole fender over the existing one but something tells me that it isn't even close to how it should be done. LOL

the other part of me thinks these fenders are designed to be attached by completely removing the old fenders and installing attachment points, then screwing the fenders into the attachment points.

is this right?

HELP!!!

Hey hey hey....Dr. Roger...(by the way...what type of doctor are you?) I have been there w/ my Sheridan body work. Before you go crazy w/ a sawzall...you need to understand that the existing Sheridan bodywork has to be trimmed back shy of the door indents and the rear tailight section. Also the front flairs should be trimmed back about three inches from the door seam. The body work should be glued on using a 3M adhesive and the rest blended and massaged...so everything is uniform and smooth. I get alot of positive comments on my Sheridan kit and I believe this is the way it should be done. When the glue is setting, a few screws straight through the body work (to hold everything tight is essential). Then the screws are backed out and thrown away. From this point a good body man can make it beautiful for you. The fender openings need to be cut away and discarded...but DO NOT remove the entire fender. You need about 40% of the existing fender to remain as a base to apply the Sheridan panels. I hope this helps.

Bill
