I have planned on eliminating the spare tire well on the passenger fender of the 37 since I did the first mockup on the truck. The spare mounted on the front fender is really neat looking, but just doesn’t fit with my plans for the truck. Lately I’ve been looking at options on just how to go about that.
The easy way out would probably be just to pick up a pair of fiberglass front fenders that don’t have the well. It’s probably the last choice as I would really like to keep the truck all metal.
One suggestion was to use a drivers fender to cut a patch out of, but studying the drivers fender it looks like the crown (curve ?) of the fender is different (opposite) from side to side and I haven’t had a lot of luck locating one anyway.
I suspect the best way would be to find someone with an english wheel who is good with it and have him make the patch....unfortunately I’m striking out there too.
At this point I’m open to any suggestions anyone may have about doing this fender.I've NEVER seen a car come from the factory that couldn't be improved.....
Sorry for your loss of friend Mike McGee, Shine. Great trans men are few and far between, it seems. Sadly, Mike Frade was only 66 and had been talking about retirement for ten years that I know...
