| Arches attached.......PERFECT.....now, because I removed that bit, which Joined the Inner and Outer Skins together at that point, it felt very flimsy, but when I attached the Arch, seemed to get the Strength back. I will need to remove the Arch again so I can Fibreglass over the Gap........ |

| The Gap between the Lower Rear and Front Lips and Bottom of the Arches will be filled and smoothed so as to look like One piece.....similar to those on Georges' Cappo......... |

Just did the same to my car today! *when you cut the inner and outer layers away from each other its usually best to tack them back together (with a welder) so give the fender some strength.

Streeter, Have you got pics up of yours yet...??? Hear what you're saying, but as I Cant weld, closest thing to welding for me is Pop Rivets followed by Fibreglass...lol.
GGutnick, 2nd hand from Yahoo Japan. I did make a mold of it, which is why it looks like it does...as I said earlier, but have yet to use the mold to make one as I'm trying to finish other things first. |

Im slack with pics and keen to just get it done. pop rivets to hold the metal together will be fine. The welding can only be small tacks anyway as the metal is so light and also being moved up the line up of the 2 peices isnt perfect any more.
I just thought it was only a FRP fender on top keeping rigidity which might not be enough if some one leans on the wrong spot. If you have pop riveted it in a few places it will be fine

Each one of the Cuts I made has a Rivet through BOTH Inner and Outer Pieces, then Trimmed the edge, Sanded under the Body Arch/Tub/Wheel Well....
Then Completely Fibreglassed the area....Also Glassed over the Cuts before attaching the Arch, then, Attached the Arch, then Fibreglassed that Underneath to the Body just mentioned, then the Top that you can see in the Pics.
There aint no way to bend it...lol
Just have to wait till I'm on Holidays in a couple of weeks to sand smooth and Fill any areas with filler....BEFORE making the Cuts so that they are seperate and can remove Bumpers and Sideskirts to finish them properly off the car, then ready for paint. |

......and there are a few as you can see, but getting the Line correct and flowing is important, which is why I need to ADD to the Rear a little to form the Curves and get the Arch 'Thickness' correct, but it's getting there and I am pleased so far.
Fibreglassing the space for the Reverse Light is next, while I'm waiting............ |

Mitogeri, By doing it this way, I will get the 'Lines and Spaces' perfect, then, make the Cuts to remove the Parts.........to finish them OFF THE CAR.......
Car wont be driven anywhere until it's ready for Paint.

I don't like what you're doing with your bonnet, but the wheel arches are looking great I have to say.
Good job ! |

Once smoothed and removed from the car for finishing, the Foam will be removed from the rear. The section in the Middle under the Number Plate, will house the NEW Reverse Light......... and some more body lines to be added.....

This is going to look amazing, but I think I might have to agree about the bonnet but I'll reserve judgement until it's completed  |
Drop me a PM if you would like to be added to the ClubCappo Member Map. More details can be found here.
