Re: Wife's 48

Put the drivers side rear fender on to see how it looks with the ZR2 rear axle.

That fills up the that fender just right.

Then I started on the riders side front fender for the 54 to see what I have with this one.

That is the front lower corner. That piece sitting there loose was broken off from the lower part of the fender with the damage from being hit. I've worked on the fender to get it about right and started on that backer piece. Who knew using a hammer and anvil would cause the curve to grow or shrink? I think I got it about right before I welded the two ends together. Now to finish the curve to that fender and the piece can be reattached to the piece still in the fender and then spot welded back into place.
