Looking good. The attention to detail on fit and flow are well worth the effort.

They look good forsure. I'm sure with you talented fine tuning skills, they will be perfect.
What happened with the other EXPENSIVE pair of repo fenders that you purchased from Deutschland that were not so desirable?

I appreciate the vote of confidence my friend. 👊
The last rotation we left off on the rears with some modifications but once we stepped back we could see that we had a bit more left to do. During rotations the Gerson fenders came in so switch gears and start out with those. We will be getting back them at some point. I was generally pleased with the base product to use however the cost just does not justify them moving forward. Gerson should have his rears done this year so we will look to those in the future, from what I hear the price will be less then half the cost of his competitor.

Thank you for giving your wonderful perspective. I couldn’t agree more with you on this.

| Freakin' impressive, seemingly seamless. The way those fenders flow into that apron is remarkable. And thank you for sharing your tooling concepts, you give us mere mortals something to aim for. |
