Mark's Fender Trim, ala Stump

[chassellbandit]

hard to see....what are you guys doing with the gas tank filler tubes?

Basically used the stock cover, but modified to fit over the now modified lower quarters. Hard to explain, but very easy to do. I dont have any pics of it, sorry...

Vanimal, ive done 6 of them now, and have some other pics. If you need something specific, shoot me a PM and I will see what I can do. Its pretty straight forward. The key is to use the right thickness sheetmetal so it stretches properly when buttoning it all back up. 20 gauge seems to be the ticket.

hmm, i'm only 2 hours from Atlanta. I may have to give you a call. This is very reminiscent of the TNT trim job, minus the sectioning and extension of the cut further back on the rear quarter, but still looks great. TNT used a 1/4" rod I believe to give more weld surface when filling in the gap of the inner fender to the outer fender. Do you think it would have made it any easier when welding it up?

Sure, thats a pretty old trick in the world of auto sheetmetal work. Its easier to weld, but its not hard to weld like it is. If fitted properly, there is no gap to speak of.
