Update: FB 2 FD (rear fenders)

ok guys, here is another teaser set of pics. this is basically the "foundation" that

your looking at. i just need to finish the driver side and the replication will begins.

enjoy:

Oh BTW, ignore the side skirts. i will be making my own also. those are just there

for measurement purposes.

IMO, that rear looks better than meant-for-the-fb wide rear fenders.

Great work!

i bet you could do well selling these parts, or selling molds to a company that would make more, i didnt think someone would be able to make this concept look so clean but you are doing a great job!! cant wait to see more

thanks guys for all the comments. its nice to see that you guys are liking my project. well here are some more progress pics. basically all i did so far was cut off the excess f/glass. this is not the final product though. i stil have to reinforce it with 5 more layers underneath it to make is strong.

also, should i make this a three piece part? meaning removable left fender, deck lid, right fender?? or should i just 1 piece it? let me know.

enjoy

I say one piece. No lines makes cars look so much cleaner. You're doing a great job. Keep up the good work, can't wait to see the finished project. I was thinking about doing a mariah kit in the future... might have to check this out instead.
