Been Busy with life, new job and stuff. Didn't have much time for the real important, cruiser, stuff. Background on it on the weekend. Anyone got the meassurements for the rear wheelarch for me?

Welded in the left top corner and started straitening THE metal with solder tin.
Ordered Some profiled steel to create fender flares. Can't get the pictures from my phone to the IPad so they will follow later.

Started working on the rear fender flares and they turn out great so far.

Thank you, I never expected them to turn out so well.

I really like those flares. They would be perfect for my 40 since I don't do much tree banging.

Got the second one in the right shape. With a 4 day weekend comming up I will try to get the left side in and start with the other side.

Well as expected no 4 day cruiser weekend, did manage to pull off about 6 hours, the rest was taken by the and some things called responsabillity's and friends.
Here are som pics of my new cleaning cabinet, found one that leaves me with some room. I don't think the wall is strong enough so I had to fabricate some sort of support.

Front part still needs to be done but after finshing the right fender flare I could cut the left one to size.
