I cut these from a end cap I found at the local metal shop, they did not have any pre-made in 1 1/4 inch diameter so I had to get a bit creative

As soon as I sealed up the rear fenderwells I got busy with paint, lots of progress, sometimes I don't stop long enough to take pictures.

A little out of order, but I wanted to mention this, I had to cut these factory mounts off. In the process I sent my self to the emergency room. 26 stitches and 10 days later I was back it. Learn from me on this mistake, Don't relax when using a 7 inch angle grinder, give those power tools the respect they deserve. Got a picture o my Bo-boo on my phone, when I transfer it over to the computer I will and add the pic, its pretty entertaining" or "Ugly" depending on your perspective I guess.

33 X 12.50's on 15's, the bead lip is going to be painted red to match the red and semi gloss black plan for the paint.

NUTSERTS, another thing I have never done, easy!! just alot of them, close to 100 to hold on the 6 panels of body armour/fenders. I used 10-24 pitch, steel Nutserts. Bought stainless steel pan head square bit machine screws (McMaster car catalog comes through again) to prevent rust and to give a smooth finished look,,,also did not want to have hex heads hanging up on clothing etc.

This was a aftermarket Valance and was a mess, did not fit right anywhere, had to fiberglass in some studs for mounting and add lots of material so the gap between teh hood And the valance would look half way decent. Probably ten different layers of Bondo to build it up to add a 1/4 inch or so right on the lip that meets the front edge of the hood.

Had to fabricate some aluminum brackets for the front valance to mount up against.

Looking from the inside looking at the top of the fender and the slits I made to allow for shaping to fit the outer skin.
