I have been trying my best to get a really good shot that shows the shape of the fender but it is tough to do...best I can get so far. The car behind me is killer too. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)

You pictures look good to me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif) What wheels are you going to run on it? you mentioned 8's in back but those dont look like 8's

Those are some nice shop rollers and I know you have several options in your garage (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif)

Those are 8's with 245's on them. These are the wheels & tires I am running. They just need to be wiped down with a very high speed polishing wheel. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

MMMM What a beautiful, rounded sensuous curve. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif) I simply cannot wait to rub my massive muscular thighs all over those rounded fenders. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif) I hope I don't scratch the paint. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif)

Nice, NICE paint, and fender work.

Welcome to the 7"/8" Fuchs club! Here's the body work on mine for reference -
Attached Image

Rear fenders were painstakingly hammered out, no metal added (and inside of lip rolled of course). I think they came out pretty well, although yours are far superior - even maintaining that small outside ridge per original shaping - again, outstanding work!

Also, IMHO I think any of these cars getting any body work should have those front/corner marker lights removed. Esp for darker colored cars. I honestly didn't even notice this on mine when I bought it but really like the clean look it gives the car, over the original 'bulging eyeball' lenses.

My $0.02 / YMMV -

This will give you a good idea of how far they pulled the fenders. These wheels had about 1/4" of clearance before.
