The garage door looks heavy duty

Actually it is glass panes. The garage is actually a covered car port that I enclosed. The ceiling is only 7 feet high. The top of the garage door opening is only 6 feet. My Son is 6'3" so, he has to remember to duck when he goes in. Sometimes he remembers. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif)

Are you bonding it on, or Dzus fasteners?

get stainless or anodized so you don't need to paint them. fly over to aircraft spruce (they'll pick you up at the field)and check out the camlock vs dzus side by side. and while while your there spend another 5 or 6 hundred. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) I did see dzus at the local welders supply but I think they were steel.

Dzus - steel - painted - riveted (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif)

The first cut won't hurt at all

The second only makes you wonder.
The third will have you on your knees

It has taken a little massaging to get the fenders to fit and I expect I'll do a little more. For what it's worth, I think the Sheriden kit on the Yellow Zonker was made a little better. These are the Dzus fasteners I'll be using.

Guess who still has a ton a aircraft goodies and tools. Check with me before you start buying rivets, clecoes, etc. I've got the micro balloons you'll need to fill those holes, too.

I know rivets and clecoes but micro balloons?? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) I have about a dozen clecoes and clecoe plyers which is enough to do one fender at a time which was the plan anyway. Thanks for the offer Kent, I really appreciate it. I'll let you know if I need anything.
Cheers, Elliot

That's a Dzus button. A quick-release fastener, so that the fender can be pulled off by turning a few fasteners one quarter turn.

BTW, micro-balloons are to provide lightweight filler. They're mostly air, so they don't weigh much. They take up space nicely, and when you mix them into the appropriate "goop" they can be used as body filler that builds up nicely and sands well but is light.

How much space will there be between he panels created by the protruding rivets ?
Won't the rivets rub on the opposite rivets or the metal fender constantly ?
An additional picture or two might help.
I want to use some Dzus fasteners myself but don't understand how the panels can be tight ( contacting ) to each other.
Thank you
