Rear fender klater fron scratch (1 Viewer)

[waiting for time]

Got some cruisertime in this weekend and dicided to incorporate flares in the rear fender design. Started with some sheet I had bend by the local blacksmith. I then cut out some peaces and stretched the rim into shape. Then cut and tacked the lower part and started filling the corners. Pictures Will follow shortly.

Next start on the other side to keep them looking the same.
Cut, bend and place on top of the other side for size and curve.

Then tack a peace in and start on the second curve.
Measuring and mirroring on the other side.

Just to make shure place on top of an old fender. And tack some sheet in place. Just making shure it's clamped flat when welding.

Next up the corners.
I had a lot of work hammering, shrinking and streching to get the right shape.
One down and three more to go.
After that they need to be fitted to the fenders, cut to size and the lower corners made to fit with the rest of the body.

Very cool. You're far more patient than I.

It's still faster then ordering from the other side of the world, and it is fun to create something.

I understand competently... Can you change it so it is using an English dictionary? Might be more helpful that way.
