This set up is only 2 fiberglass fenders, 1 fiberglass hood attached to a metal grill, no wheelwells all bolted together. You can get a one piece front clip but its spendy. I reinforced the back side of the metal grill and welded home made 3 knuckle hinges so it can attach to the frame. Probably not the best way of doing it but works. I like this cause all I need to do is pull the head light wires off, 2 hinge pins and the front clip is off and easy to work on the engine. The radiator has to be mounted to the frame as it can't hinge.
Yes, the above orange Bronco is what I'm talking about but maybe less gap at the cut.
Problem here is I'll need to make reinforcements to keep the small piece of fender attached to the cab without the inner wheelwell. Anyone does this?
Need ideas...
The way I have it, the fender needs to be in front of the door post (back side) instead of wraping around the post and bolting on like stock. This allows a bit of room for the fender to rotate up and away without hitting the cab. Doing it this way creates an even bigger gap between the door and front fender. I could cut off the return lip of the fender and pull the entire front clip further towards to the cab but that will weaken the fiberglass fender and cause cracks over time. What do you think?
