Got a few hours in tonight, passenger side quarter is ready for welding, I made a cardboard template of the drivers side curves and pushed and squeezed the other side until it matched.
And started a front fender....I ended up using the exact same process, its a bit more difficult since the fender is so short, but I think it will look sweet none the less. I put masking tape over it to get a feel for the curve so I could see the fender, not all the slices. Its turning into one voluptuous brick!

I feel like I should add--this is DEFINITELY pro-touring in my book.
(please don't turn this thread into a rant about whether or not it's pro touring!! haha)

Thanks! I've been following the scene since it began, and I love it. Most of the builds are amazing and way out of my price range, so this will be low budget pro-touring. Its not a conventional approach, but more of a practical approach which will hopefully get me to a similar end result! Originally Posted by formula
