Getting into it.

freds40 · 03-30-08, 12:49 AM

Lost something

freds40 · 03-30-08, 12:50 AM

Inner fender marked for hacking.

freds40 · 03-30-08, 12:52 AM

Just about finished

Still a little nub to trim

MYTANK · 03-30-08, 03:34 AM

Looks Very Tough Mate!

Love how far the wheels stick out!

Dan

D'Animal · 03-30-08, 08:13 AM

How will the inner fender well and the outer fender connect?

weak-link · 03-30-08, 09:06 AM

for now they won't.

if I get a bug up my butt, then I would plate the gap and put in some 1/4 bar

weak-link · 03-30-08, 03:15 PM

I'm starting to like this thing

my rear springs have seen beter days. I think I'll re-arch them an inch or two and bag the rear.

GLTHFJ60 · 03-30-08, 03:49 PM

I love the cut!! I think I'm going to do the exact same thing to my 60.

your cut looks great.... add the bar stock before you hitem it adds ALOT of strenth to the fenders keep the pics comin man I wish mine still looked that nice

weak-link · 03-30-08, 05:53 PM

The only reason I don't want to add the bar now is because I don't want to weld and grind on the paint. for a winter project I might try and find another set of fender so DAHONDAgod can work some magic.

little rubage from the support, It looks like can just trim the lip off of it.

boots4 · 03-31-08, 02:00 PM

Good job on the fender cut. You going to do anything to the rear?

weak-link · 03-31-08, 03:21 PM

I don't know yet, I still have to lower the rear 2"s and add air bags+bump stops. I really don't want to add an add-a-leaf but we'll see how it plays out.

I'd rather have a soft spring and design around it then just throw in a stiff spring thats going to unload coming down a face or be stiff and want to push the rear over when off camber.

I'm sure someone thinks I just need some OME's

Mace · 03-31-08, 04:28 PM

get some OME's. 3" lift buggers

Nice front cut, looks a lot like where mine are cut. I am sure Chris will fix up those fenderwells much better than mine are

Sorry, I meant are you going to cut the rear at all or are you waiting until you've dialed it in to see where you'd need to cut?

CaliCruiser · 03-31-08, 09:53 PM

Did you ever get those Timbren bump stop for the front? Those look sweet!

Dylan

weak-link · 04-01-08, 01:33 AM
