It looks really rough at the start (hey, the new Mad Max movie is coming out), but with near OCD attention to detail, something beautiful arises.A lot time is spent smoothing and rounding edges and the back-and-forth from passenger to driver side to maintain parity. In the future (and after I win the lottery), it would be more advantageous to use a large scale foam cutter, and just hit “print” from our 3D renders and come up with an 90% solution to do minor tweaks on to save time. For now, we’ll trust our fabricator’s Mark 1 eyeball and 20+ year experienced calibrated fingers.
Remember kids, safety first. A full face shield and air breathing filter were used while forming the plugs.
The extra width is taking shape…Upon completion of the shaping, there was a wheel and tire final fitment check for turn lock clearance, as well as door hinge limits. Once everything was to our liking, the plug would be sealed for the multi-piece mold. A week or so later, we had our first pieces for test fitting.
Before Prototype fit check….
…and the first prototype piece on the vehicle.

I was searching for FRS fenders and found this:

Are these the fenders you designed?
Yes, Cheston designed them.
