custom front fenders
« on: February 07, 2013, 01:38:43 PM »
with the ford 289 one of the po put in my jeep there is a loss of space in the front and on the fire wall, the manafolds are touching. so i made some new fenders that are 6" longer and add 2" on each side. i used 1/8 so that i could get away with out the mid brace.


cardbord templet i made


cutting out on the plama table


bending up


tacked up to weld






here you can see the spacers i made to gain the 2"

Ahhhh, if I only had access to all that-----------------------------------

Nice work and waiting for an installed pic!!!  You can sometimes get around some of the firewall problems using a little body lift-also helps a bunch with the under-hood space.

with the motor being longer it pushed the trans back to, and i wanted to get it back close to stock.
