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

here's some pics. Yeah it's super dirty, been sitting on the ground for about 10 months with no washing.

These are from my front end. Same arch though, just a factory size
you can see I retained the 'beauty line' on the lower edge of the wheel well lip. Alot of repop parts don't have that line...


here's a pic of the passenger side, looking back.
you can see the lip I made that goes in, with none of the 'fangs'.
That lip was trimmed about 1/4" off in this picture. It is about 1/2" deep from the inside of the beauty line.


the bigger that inside lip is, the more strength the panel will have.
I think I will make that lip about 1" deep, and if needed it could be trimmed back to suit the specific install.
Having a 1" lip there would be a great place to install inner wells.
I'm thinking inners like on modern trucks, a strong flexible plastic.
But Fenders first, inners down the road if there's enough interest in fenders
