Hi everyone!

With winter just around the corner, many of us will probably be found in the garage working on our rides.  Some projects are a little more involved than others and while it’s true that we enjoy the thought of performing all the work ourselves, there will be stages where reaching out for a little help can be beneficial to the vehicle as well as your sanity.

     ●  Vehicle Showcase Posters

     ●  Product & Vehicle Design

     ●  Metal Shaping

I invite you to check out our facebook page and website – www.invisionprototypes.com

If you have any questions or for more information please feel free to send me a PM.  Also, mention that you’re an Ontario Rodder member for a member discount.

Thank you very much for your time and consideration,

Nick

Hi everyone!

 

Thought I'd share a recent job that I completed for a customer. 

A little while ago he invited me over to check out his project.  As a guy who loves doing his own work on his ride, he's doing a great job making some serious changes to a '40 Ford Coupe.   However, when it came to the rear fenders he was initially looking at repairing all the cracks and rust in the originals ... then modifying them to suit the new lines on the car.

I suggested to him that in the time it takes to repair and modify the originals I can hammer out a new set for him.

 

Work began by first cutting out full size plus a little extra blanks from a sheet of steel.  Starting with the driver's side I started forming the flat sheet into a basic shape using the wheel.

With the basic shape formed, tucks were created around the edge that meets the body to begin the shrinking process.

After working out the tucks by hand(pheu... what a workout), the wheel was used to smooth any small surface deviations while creating the reverse curve on the area that meets the body.  Time to start trimming away excess material.

Now to finish up rolling the wheel arch, edges and bolt flange before starting the other fender. With these fenders, the running board mates on the vertical rather than on the horizontal like the originals.  This was done for a cleaner appearance. The wheel arch also has an added feature above the opening.

Both fenders done and ready to be picked up.
