I think migs is gonna fab up a set for me. I think he has a clean fender he's going to use as a template. It doesn't seem like it would be too complicated, but I've said that before and had VERY different results. Going by migs' thread he seems more than competent to get them done.

yep, should be starting on it this weekend. looks easy enough. I might also look into making part or whole of the top fender mount rail and a small patch panel with side marker cutouts.

Awesome!! You and I must think alike. You could punch out all those pieces, box them together and call it the OEM rusty fender bail out kit;D. I know I would have bought several sets if any of the other vendors sold them.

Sounds good- looking forward to seeing these fabbed up!

What'a brother you are.

If he can't do it, it probably can't be done.

AND, when he's done with those, I'm sending him AutoCad drawings of my Bronco and he going to plasma one out and weld it together.;D

ok, but only if it's made out of polished 316 stainless.;D....and you pay for the material.

HAHA!! Becareful what you ask for. I actually have plenty of the 304 "available" than the 316. Really..

But could you imagine a fully SS Bronco..

We could try contacting John Delorean, but he passed away in 2005.

Happy Tax Day!!

I got the pass. side fender stripped and removed the inner section. Migs made my pieces and they look AWESOME!! Thanks Brian. I will definitely post a vid of the install.

I was planning on blasting the inner fender and have it all cleaned up and ready for when the inner sections arrive, but the hardware store down the street from my dad's shop didn't have any sand in stock. I need to go to Tractor Supply and get a few bags of coal slag.

Here's a link to migs' thread showing the inner pieces he fabbed up. http://classicbroncos.com/forums/showthread.php?t=204217

He did a hell of a job on them. They should have no problem being marketed for sale.

Looking good. Can't wait to see the new pieces on. Need to get you a helmet cam so we can see both hands on that gate.;D

The pieces arrived and I fit one up, and just as I expected they were spot on. Migs deserves a standing ovation for his fab skills and attention to detail. I only fit the passanger side piece up with vice grips since I still need to clean the inside of the fender up. It was raining it's butt off today, so dragging the sandblaster outside is a no-no. I did weld on the side marker piece. It also fit great. He should be in the aftermarket body panel business. We'd all be alot further along compared to some of the crap that is out there.:-X

Here's a few pics of the marker light section I installed. I decided to cut a little of it down since the fender has a slight curve in it. It turned out great.

Thanks!!!

I had broncitis pick this 1/4 assembly up for me at Super Celebration last weekend form Mike D. I'm planning on getting it next weekend. This should hopefully save me some man hours.

Not much more to report other than the link to the pieces migs made for me http://classicbroncos.com/forums/showthread.php?t=204217

He measured a decent fender to get factory specs so mounting the pieces he fab'd up would be on point (pic below). Definitely hit him up if you're looking to keep your factory fenders. Top notch work.

Nice work on those fenders! Any more progress?......I'm going through sellitall build withrawl ;D

Heading up Sunday to get the inner fenders blasted and HOPEFULLY get the pieces tacked in place.

Also going up to pick up a 2'x4'x1 1/2" thick piece of steel plate from a guy on CL. I need a small welding table that will take some abuse. A piece that size will be more than up to the challange.;D
