Little more detail in the glass fender creation:

Started with styrofoam and spray foam:

Then many many layers of body filler to get the profile perfect.....then many coats of primer which gave me this plug:

Wax it 10 times, add PVA mold release, then gel coat....then start laying glass and resin:

Ok, so I have this idea that if I go drifting in this car, I don't want to rebuild the 1/4 panels if I tap a wall.....

So I took what I know about building bumpers that survive short course racing....My truck bumpers are original, and I have personally destroyed or bent at least 3-4 rear bumpers from people in front of me

And applied it to this car, with a touch of hot rod, and a dash of concealment....
