Fender pull/roll/wide body thread

[truepaint]

Post pics of your fender work... I'm taking my car into the shop soon to have some big work done and I need pics to bring to him of what I'm looking for. Thx for the help!

[truepaint]

Please move to exterior posted in detailing on accident

[speedaddict]

what kind of fender work you looking to do? There's a variety out there, flares, subtle flares with stock body line, widebody, slight pulls, duck lip pulls, hammered flat look...etc etc etc.

Something along these lines. My new rear wheels are way aggressive and at -9 camber I still have about an inch and a half to make up in body work

[NET]

i have a rear pull/flare. I think people call it 'duck lip'..

that is more pulled and radiused with stock body lines.. which I think looks the best

[speedaddict]

agreed... love it pancakes!

[GS300ToM]

fenders rolled with a slight pull to keep that stock body look.. dont like flares/duck lips on the GS!

Here's mine. Wanted to keep the factory type of a look with the fender. I needed over an inch worth of extra space cuz the rears were that much aggressive

I love it...everything flows perfectly with this car...the front and rear fenders, the wheels, and the color!
Very Nice=)

[CrazyHawaiian]

When I did mine, I thought the stock body lines on the fender looked too complex (G50 chassis), so I asked them to smooth it out. I'm not sure what style this is called. I told them I wanted it pulled out as much as possible without having to rework the chassis itself. I also said I wanted it smoothed out at the fender lip so that I can get a flush fitment/stance type of look (still working on that). This was done hammer and dolly. Not radiused. No cutting or welding. Something along the lines of 10hrs of work per fender just on the metal work.

In progress

Here's a project I'm working on and hopefully can bring it to AF vip meet. 2004 LS430 metal fender flares.

Here are the fenders I used...87 Honda Prelude...
http://img98.imageshack.us/img98/1913/img2513u.jpg

Cut and folded up with a bat to see what I need to clear...Don't mind the key scratches. Somebody decided to go to town on the car...Fkn Haters. All good though, cause that's the reason for all the work...
http://img696.imageshack.us/img696/3904/img2491l.jpg

Before...
http://img713.imageshack.us/img713/7905/img2602x.jpg

I cut the Honda fender for the shape I needed it to be...
http://img13.imageshack.us/img13/3167/img2623be.jpg

The tabs that were folded up were cut prior to welding on the new flare...
http://img15.imageshack.us/img15/8456/img2533qc.jpg

Welded on filler and primer...
http://img204.imageshack.us/img204/8678/img2564k.jpg

Same for the front...So 4 front fenders from a Honda all around...
http://img717.imageshack.us/img717/1790/img2836q.jpg

Here is an over view shot of the fender work...

Car is almost complete with paint. Full color change. This is just an old rough pic of the car before the teardown. More pics to follow, soon.

[PANCAKES!]

Any pics of the actual work that went into getting the honda fenders to fit the car? And you aint foolin me w/ them scratches lol

[cheez80]

And you aint foolin me w/ them scratches lol

oh shit hahaha

[brainneeded]

"someone" :innoutrofl2:

[BAHC]

LOL..thats pretty cool tho. any bigger of a flare and i say the lines are too hard since it doesnt get up into the quarter panel, but for a small subtle flare, it looks awesome

[antbo]

damn!! ha!! this guy. y u gotta put him on blast, lol!!!

i thought they were tribal flames:shrug:

dope work on the fender though!

[jj702s1]

Lol. No seriously, somebody went to town. The whole car was keyed up. Trust me one key scratch per panel is more than enough. This was a lot of work bro.

http://img18.imageshack.us/img18/783/img2584ky.jpg



I got some spot welding pics and some mud. But as far as the fender I just cut to fit. Cut it big then trim to how I wanted it to fit tight.

pretty dope idea. I was looking at some flares from some nissans that would work. but i thought i would ruin my car first before I did anything this elaborate

[PANCAKES!]

Lol. No seriously, somebody went to town. The whole car was keyed up. Trust me one key scratch per panel is more than enough. This was a lot of work bro.

Sorry to hear that then. That shit does suck!!! But looks like your going harder than before so that's always good.


and AH! I see what you did
I was under the impression that you were using the whole fender like I'll be trying to do

[psyk0tic808]

damnnn....some nice work on that LS..

never would have thought about taking fenders from another vehicle..

[jj702s1]

Thanks, just posting pics up for reference. Because there are a lot of different ways it can be done, depending on what you want and the look your going for. Big or small. This is still a work in progress and it is almost done.

Good job JJ! Especially doin all the body and paint yourself. With no shop, that shows that some VSC members still got skills ;) that car better be done for AF meet :)

[dzznuts671]

Damn this thread is so full o WIN!!! Alot of inspiration and great ideas in here!!!

[VIP-UCF]

Here's how my project went a number of years ago...pretty similar to JJ's...i used fenders from a 3 series bmw...wasn't fun working with a welder with no gas and a 30 gal compressor...not to mention no garage...

what i started with...

That's pretty much the gist of it...

And here is a pic of my latest project...couldn't use any fenders for this one because the high radius and wasn't able to find anything close that will hug the rim so i had to improvise...and now that i have all the tools and workspace i need, made this go around much much easier although its still TONS of work...

[VIP-UCF]

nah no pics of the car completed...moved to cali a few days after I painted the car and pretty much sold everything...the car itself was 'stolen'...

[Kouki Monster]

I hear thats the best way to get rid of stuff you dont want anymore, or cant sell.

A dime bag, a bottle of OE and the keys make things disappear. And i mean keys to the car, not.. well never mind

[Juzzo]

True words, you get insurance money and a bunch of spare parts to sell =)

[speedaddict]

LOL...I hear that's how some get a paint job too...their car gets 'keyed' on EVERY panel.

[DpromGS]

I like where this is going. Wonder where's my insurance agent or the feds.

[VIP-UCF]

I can write up a full key job for about $5k...I paint completes for $2500 and up...its a no brainer...just be careful to not total your car...

[DpromGS]

you write up mines for 5K and guarantee thats a total already hahahahah!!!!

How much does fender work usually cost? Can anybody recommend a shop in San Diego?

[PANCAKES!]

How much does fender work usually cost? Can anybody recommend a shop in San Diego?

Depends on the shop.
Typically couple hundread at the most (no more than 500)
IMO it's pretty cheap.
Hit up Jocson's in Nasty city, they did mine and the homey Dennis's Y50

[Damicci]

Well We have been quoted around 3500~4500 for metal work like that TL.

Depends on shop and type of work needed but i would expect minimum 2k

[BAHC]

i paid thousands for mine, but it also included a respray.

[L3GDKANG/JDM-KANG]

ok we got started on mine today and thanks to this thread it was a whole lot easier then they thought it would be lol.

schaweet!

[67rs]

Most if not all of these pictures show just the outer skin of the quarter panel. does anyone have any pics or would anyone be able to shed some light on how the inside looks? are 2 lb hammers being taken to the inner wheel well or are they being cut out then welded back once the outer skin is finished?
