yes, i used masking tape, that I know wont harm my paint, under the foam but put duct tape on top of the foam so the fiberglass wont interact with the foam.
I have to find a release agent to go on next. Wax? spray?

i'm using Meguiars Mirror Glaze No.8 11oz to release my molds on my projects. you can check out a marine shop if u live near one. they usually have fiberglass as well as release agents since boaters usually need to repair their stuff once in a while.

But the front I wanted to remove the stock fender for more tire clearance.

Inject resin into the foam and it'll eat it away. Cut away your stock fender though with a sawzal this way the work you're doing is warranted by not having the original fender under it...

Hmmm... I'm excited to see how this turns out. Good luck!

i think any wax will do as long as there is enough........i think i deleted all my links where i was reading to learn how to fg stuff...... i was tryin to make a differ lip kit.....

the jury is undecided yet on how i like it or not.....i made these last spring but never had them really painted just spray can lol

yeah when I started looking I thought it was a joke

turned out pretty good though

If it totaly fails and I have to trash everything, my car will be just like it was, no damage done, doesent require much balls, just $30+5 hrs per fender.
If this goes as planed, I still will have to take the car and fenders to a bodyshop to have them fill and prep the car for paint. I just dont have the skills/paitients to prep a car for paint.
I have been debating on this style fenders too. Probably should stick to what im doing.

Yeah I say definitely stick with the lines you have. Never been too big a fan of the widebody fenders that just stop at the doors, usually doesn't look right to me. Yours are extreme but still follow the curves the car came with, just enhancing them
