@914forme "I will never be able to ride in this sweet build because I would have to remove my head and place it in my lap. Thus removing my enthusiasm for the ride, and creating quite a biological cleanup for you"..........

Yes, those bars will be gone. If you look closely they are only tacked on.

@rudedude if you look closely the lip is tacked on and I will adjust as needed when I put back on the ground and compress with about 600# of weights. Don't worry at the end of the day it will not rub cause I can (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif) and (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/w00t.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/w00t.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/w00t.gif)

Thanks guys.

I semi completed all the fenders. I need to finish the rocker panels before I finish welding the fenders. I tried different bends to get to the final depth that I wanted. The final rocker will have a rubber strip and fastened like Marv's 6 project. Here are some update pictures.

This is how the the front wide-body is lookingAttached Image

bend cut try again Attached Image

getting closer Attached Image

this one ( 1.5" radius and offset along lower lip or Attached Image

this one ( 2" radius and no offset along lower lip) I think the previous one was starting to
look like crown molding Attached Image

Well done Rudy. What gauge are you using for the rocker panels? Also, can you describe/show what you're using to shape/bend the metal?

Im using 22 gauge on the rocker panels. I use a sheet metal magnetic brake to bend everything. I used a 2" pipe as a backer to get the brake to brake a radius as opposed to a sharp corner.

More update on the rocker panels. I just need to finish the ends.....that's easy. The hard part was getting these things to mount sturdily on the car and make them removable and allow conduits to pass through. I designed to give me flexibility to run whatever conduits I want in the rockers or the longs. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

You're having entirely too much fun Rudy. You may not want to go back to work after this. I was going to come by but I spent the last "2" days re-entering every invoice, deposit and pay check for the last 6 weeks. Friggin computers. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) We're leaving for TX to see the grandkids I won't get by for a couple of more weeks now. Hopefully I'll be back in time for the first drive! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) BTW, it's looking really good Rudy. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Thanks bud. I am thinking on cutting down on the amount of pictures I post since it takes a long time to prep and it just seems that people care more of the finished money shot rather than the back of the house stuff. So next post will more than likely be the finished rockers, then the finished duck tail and then the finished hood. It will be easier for me that way. Later!

I love the progress shots Rudy!

For me the slowest part is always resizing images. If that's your issue, I highly recommend installing ImageRisizer (now part of MS PowerToys). Then it's just a right click to resize and you're good to load. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I know it's time consuming to post these pic and the associated wording, but there are a lot of us that really enjoy the steps taken to get to the results. BTW, thanks for responding to my post regarding your sheet metal brake.
