Fiberglass recomendations from Gunnar Racing
Well I've been talking to the guys at Gunnar Racing about y ST project...
and they have told me not to waste my time and money with steel front fenders...they say to go with FG...and to glue wet suit material on the underside to keep the rocks from starring the paint... what do you guys think??? the other option is 3000.00 flares from gunnar racing... or custom modified 930 flares onto early fenders...

Sounds great! But, I was told to undercoat the fg fenders. Wet suit material would be better but, that material is kind of heavy. Also, I would think it would be a bear to get it to stick for a long period of time.

Interesting
In terms of weight, that wesuit material (neoprene) is available in different thicknesses - some pretty thin. You should be able to purchase it from a specialty fabric store.

Another option is to have a bedliner place blow the rubber in for you. Some small shop that does "Rino Bedliners" for trucks.

I like Rarly's idea, but there is now a roll-em-on yourself bedliner gunk. It comes in gallon and quart cans. If it's the same as what's in the bed of my pickudiyup, it will be tough as horse-snot and last forever.

NAPA also has a 3M Underbody coating....ive used it in the past w/great results. It stays rubbery, is easily repaired(if needed) but its very tough, and is less expensive. About 2 cans per fender would be about $40 for both fenders.

Hello
The factory used FG units. The street/rally version used steel light bucket and signal light carrier. The underside was coverd with some shets balsawood (?) molded into the stone pinching area. The race track version was without wood in the FG. The OEM is still offering parts and service but he always insists to bring the car to him to work out the FG parts to his quality standards. Said that some 5 years ago he made a complete replica RSR setup including prepainting for a thad abouve 3000 $ ( parts and labour ( frontfenders, bumpers, mirrors, Ducktail on steel frame, fuel tank protection shield, FIA tow hooks ). However he got a bare perfect prepared shell to start with and many time to move it into his worksheme. Quality was so good that most people wouldn´t belive it was FG. Grüsse |
