Flat Fenders '69

Here's a few pics of a set of flat fenders for the '69. Tube is 11ga 1", sheeting is 1/8". Strap at the grill mounts is 3/16". Top welds are ground smooth with the tube then followed with a skim coat of bondo.

 

good job

 

Looks nice, great job! but uhh don't u get alot of dirt,snow and mud on the engine??

Great looking fenders, kind of makes you want to go out and buy a CJ3A or something R).

 

nothing a hose won't squirt off.. You cannot eat off my engine

I've thought (and keep thinking) about working up some type of inner fender for this. Fact of the matter, the fenders posted up in this thread are already sold to a local guy. I'll be redoing another set for my '69 but want to incorporate a flare of sorts to keep debris from kicking up into the jeep. The ones in the pic were made w/1" tube. I've since acquired a 1.25" and 1.5" die, so I'll play around a bit to see what looks best.

 

Get ready for some business, I think you could probably sell some of those. Great work!

 

Yep, I think you are going to have to figure out a price on those things. Especially if you are going to make them with a bit of a flare. I would sure be interested. Shipping from CO would be expensive though.

They look great,

Very nice. Not much bondo there either. I think the flares look great on that type of flat fender.

 

Did you find that the 3/16 was overkill? I was going to use 1/8 strap up the grill and for the back side. I plan to incorperate the stock inner fender on mine. Great pics, thanks for posting them!

 

Nah, just a bit harder to bend (I stomped on it with my size 12 until it conformed to the necessary shape ) I used the 3/16 only because the 1/8 that I had was a bit too wide. 1/8 should work just fine for you.

 

purdy... good job...

 

looks good.
