are the fenders a one off pieces or did you start with an "off the shelf" fender blank...

I started with the air dam from the top of a tractor trailer truck.  I thought it would save materials and time.  I know it saved a lot of materials but I am not sure if it saved any time.  It is starting to come together.  This week I will build the area in the center where the fenders meet the grille and some other stuff.  We got the fenders dzus to the body today.   The bottom 4 inches of the front will be cut off and then reattached a couple of inches higher.  It will a removable piece, like an air dam,  so that the tow bar can be attached to the car.

Maybe there is no Heaven. Or maybe this is all pure gibberish. The product of a demented hill billy who has found a way to live out where the winds blow. To sleep late, have fun, drink whiskey, and drive fast on empty streets with nothing in mind except falling in love or getting arrested.    H.S. Thompson

With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine. However, this is not necessarily a good idea. It is hard to be sure where they are going to land, and it could be dangerous sitting under them as they fly overhead. -- RFC 1925

The young man is celebrating his birthday on the outskirts of Beerhaven, tonight.

Yeah, that's a really sad way to grow older . . .

Work prevents me from being the host I would like to be, but for dinner on Tuesday, his money's no good in these parts . . .  :cheers:

Never used to be that way around here.  Working and drinking used to go hand in hand, and to good effect, I might add.

Back in the hey-day of this fair city, the bricklayers would hand kids empty pales and cash, send them down to the bar, and they would return with the elixir. 

The brick and stone work in downtown Milwaukee is world class.

MADD's Milwaukee office is located in just such a building . . .

While I was in the Milwaukee area, Chris and Mark were able to join me for dinner, brew, and bench racing!

Thanks guys, I had a great time!

I'm sure Don will weigh in later, but in the meantime, he has the block on the CNC for the O-rings!
