most of my old fender will be cut and patched i dont plan on cutting it away im sure you could but i see huge rust problems if that goes open. as far as bonding it i am going to glass it on and use some kind of adhesive in the back but theres not many places to grab beings its wider then the fenders now i get to shave the rear again lol

The wide fenders look good. The big problem I see is what do you plan to do with the back to make it look complete with that wide body? I know you don't want to hear this but you will have to cut the bottom of the 1/4 fenders off. You can cut the outter skin and then fold the inner skin over the outter one and weld it shut. After installing the wider fender you will need to completely seal the gap between the old fender to the newer one to prevent rusts. GL.

:iagree:He's right I'm afraid. Also, look into bonding the pc. to the car using SMC glue. It's kinda expensive but not really for what it does. A little goes a long way. You can get it in cans or in tubes like caulk. SMC is what they glue all the panels on cars like the corvette with. It will stop the

tendency for the fiberglass work you do to crack and separate later down the road. It’ gonna look GREAT!
