Re: Interest for High rise(pre-runner style?) Fenders Fiberglass

Just for a little more info on the "skin", here is a picture of my last truck I had. It was a full fiberglass body made by a place called Trailer Products. It was full tube chassis, it had tubes with tabs and the glass was thru-bolted and all bolted together. The thickness was no more then 3/16". The truck has seen the worse of the worse and at 100+ mph, and not one crack. I had since painted the whole thing black, and still no stress cracks. I am just saying, those of you that think you need to beef up the glass, you would be suprised how strong it really is if you have it mounted in a decent application.
Mordachai, if you make the front and rear skins, I would be interested, as my Blazer will see the same terrain that my old truck did. Weight is also a concern for me. Thanks.
