As I said earlyer, I am working on finishing my flares, Still working on the one, but the results are very pleasing. I have more to do still, but I can fit a 245 tire on 8in Gotti wheels on, a little snug, going to work on that, but the inside wheel well has about 1/2 to an inch to spare.
I figured out at about 8 last night, after about an hour and a half of working, that there was this huge hammer/sledge hanging up, and I figured I'd give it a try, It has an oval face to it, not square, so It would make a nice push out. Well It worked great, started forming the fender in no time. Here's some results. Attached image(s) |

Looks like it might need more sand in it. Nice job though. By the way, www.metalcrafttools.com sells shot dollies for about $15. They are just a small hand-sized leather bag. I bought two of them. They are great for holding in one one hand against the metal and pounding away.
