Hey, guys. Finally got a nice enough day today to trim the front fenders and cut 'n' fold the rear and it looks great to me! A few little ridges here and there, but hardly noticeable. Besides, I've got a plan in mind anyway, so they won't matter.

I was wondering if the fenders and quarter panels are strong enough to bolt or weld onto. My bro and I are planning to make a set of tube fenders for mine, so I'd like to be able to attach them directly to the fender. I know aftermarket ones bolt on (at least I think they do), so I'm just wondering how strong that are for that.

 

They're only a little bit thicker than aluminum foil.

 

Yes. Factory flares are bolted on...bushwaker flares bolted on...etc. Weld? For looks yes. The fenders crumple like paper if you run into anything.

 

exactly

 

Thanks,guys! I figured they had to be....Welding would be a last ditch effort though, but I was only curious. Thanks again!
