How on earth did you fabricate those wheel arch panels
Hi John,
Sorry I don't mean to depress anyone...
Trust me John it's far from perfect (I only post the good bits...).
Once I figured out what to do the wheel arch panels weren't too bad to do.
I jig sawed the two sides plates and fitted a spacer to keep the distance correct and then tack welded a 3mm strip to the radius on the car.
The awkward part was to stop them distorting when welding, for this I made some thick steel radius plates and clamped them inbetween the two ally sides and left them in place until they cooled down a bit.
I still may bugger them up yet when I try to match them to my rear panel....
