Fitting Clamshell Wings

[Mutt]

My car has flared (clamshell) fenders, and I only have a cycle fendered car as a template.

 

 

 

How do the fenders attach? There are the two braces (headlight and under the scuttle), but is the fender bolted to the body? If so, isn't that aluminum awfully flimsy to support the wind induced flexing of those big fenders?

 

 

 

Hand fitting the fenders, it seems that the lower rear edge of the fender is 6" from the bottom edge of the car, and the front edge is flush with the lower edge of the bonnet, about 2" behind the headlight mount. Is that right?

 

 

 

I'm figuring I'll have to 'glass some clamps or studs to the underside of the fender to clamp the fender braces. Any hints on this?

 

 

 

July 7 is not that far away.

i beleive there was 1 or 2 attachment points to the body.

The Clams, attach to the wing stay at the side repeater and then bolts into the rivenuts in the side panel.

 

 

 

I remember drilling into the wing to mount the repeaters and the wing stay. Measure twice drill once. If you need any photos, Just ask.   Tom
