Casey Posted September 27, 2015 I'm going to need some for a planned project so I thought I would give building one a shot. The inside of the fender is 1.1" wide (27.5") they are a tight fit on the ROG Peterbilt and AMT Autocar wheels/tires but I think they will be okay. Any thoughts on the inside width and/or the overall look? --Casey Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Casey Posted September 27, 2015 I did a few test fits and it looks like I'll be rebuilding them. Just a bit too narrow... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mack-man87 Posted September 29, 2015 What if you went with lowpro tires?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cornbinder Posted October 3, 2015 I've pondered making a few fenders like that. Did you roll a flat piece of plastic for the top, or use something that was already rounded, like a cut-down pill bottle? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

On the one above I just used flat sheet styrene and beveled the corner. However, I wanted to round the corners more and thus decided to build a new one to resin cast. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Casey Posted January 2, 2016 As I mentioned in my previous post I decided to build a new fender to resin cast. I thought it would be easier to build one side (center), resin cast it to make the other side and then add the center. This was my first attempt at resin casting but after several failed attempts (left) at both making the mold and casting the part, I think I finally have results that I can work with (right). I just had a couple of small air bubbles that can be easily filled. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Casey Posted January 8, 2016 I added the center portion of the fender a couple of days ago and I have poured half of the mold for the fender. Waiting for it to cure so I can make the second half. Wish me luck! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Casey Posted January 10, 2016 The mold was cured today and I was finally able to cast my fenders. There are very few bubbles and they have all been on the underside. They will require a little sanding and possibly a little filler. I think they turned out pretty damn good! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cornbinder Posted January 11, 2016 They look way better than my resin casting experiments, I will say that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Unfortunately, as I began to tinker with them I discovered that they were about 1/10th of an inch to wide. I have reworked them and I have poured the first half of the mold. I hope the this attempt turns out as well as the previous one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Casey Posted January 13, 2016 Done! They now fit snug on the ROG Peterbilt wheels and tires so I am happy. Light sanding and possibly a little (very little filler) will be need but I think that is almost impossible to avoid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
