    You might think about using a strip of heavier gauge steel flat stock, like 1/2" wide, and attach it low in the front and back of the inner fender arch. Get an arch you like and build your sheetmetal to that for some structure. Anything thinner than 1/16th" would prolly work. Keep going!


    Yea that's the plan. Hopefully by next weekend I can start on that.

    nice update

    so i started by cutting the fender. tjen shaping it to barely clear the tire.

    ive never seen this done on a bug before so i wasnt sure how it would work. but my plan had worked. i felt so accomplished

    this is just a practice run, im going to buy new fenders and do this nicer and make the cuts higher/shape them alittle different. but all in all this is just about the look i was going for

    Here's 1 pic. It's a start. I need to cut higher on the next set of fenders. This was a practice and it came out better than I expected. Love it.

    So I started a fender and it looks amazing. It worked out exactly how I planned! 😁 I'm so excited. Follow my Instagram for pics right now. @chr1spyy. I'll post pics on here later tonight.

    This is how it is on the floor. Perfect clearance. Time to make some fenders. ��
