I have mounted a fender. WoooHooo!!

Now, I wish I had not, because I need it off for a template to make the trim that goes around it. :(

I did not put spacers between it and the sidewall, I put this stuff on it though. It is kinda cool, it is flexible but has hardened and water proof to keep it dry in between.

Now, I just have to figure out how to make the trim.... :scratchthinking: :scratchthinking:

Mary K, that is looking sweet. You are becoming a master carpenter or something. :thumbsup: :applause:

That PL stuff is really good. I'm using NP on my gaps between the fenders and walls. Just about the same stuff. Flexible and durable.

WOW!!! THANKS EVERYONE!!! :shock:

Even Mike dropped in :thumbsup: Coolbeans. :D

Madjack, that idea popped into my head on the way home from work. Now, off to find some cardboard :twisted:

Lynn, I work better by myself, mostly, but my Dad has helped a lot and my "roommate" has given me a hand when one is needed to hold something. But I do often have cussing fits. The meds can only work so much :wacky

Heikki, I just got home from woik and I am now woikin on the Tear. Plan to be on the carport all weekend :thumbsup:

Dooner Master carpenter? Thanks but, NOPE :no: It's called "Belt Sander" greatest envention e v e r m a d e!!!! ;)
