Making Wider Steel Fenders For A C30 Dually

  • Making a pair of 3" wider rear fenders for my friend's Chevrolet C30 Dually to replace the standard fiberglass ones. It was a quite complex and difficult shape to replicate, especially the bottoms, whilst also keeping them as a bolt on like factory.
    2 weeks of work crammed into an hour of video using a variety of tools and methods including making Pullmax dies for the wheel arch swage, using the power hammer and english wheel to add shape, and using the bead roller to tip flanges. Overall, it came out pretty decent but as always there is lots of room for improvement, such as if I had a second set of hands to chase minute details and also if I had to do them again, I would change a few processes.
    Thanks for watching. Back onto the Mazda Cosmo content this week.

    There is a reason why General Motors made the original flares in fibreglass! They couldn't make them out of steel and recover the cost. The finished product is awesome. Thanks for taking the effort to describe the whole work process - hung on to every part of the video. Love your work........

      Thanks mate, it's true, I pretty much wing everything and if it doesn't work I try again until it works 😅 the downfall of teaching yourself, so much failure before anything good happens. Id like to look back in 5 years and see how far I've progressed from here.

      ​@@notevn I always try to remember, as I was told when doing my apprenticeship, back in the 60's. My German Apprentice master, asked me, "Is it perfect ?". Well, No! but it's good enough for my level of skill, and it's the best I can do. His reply.......Then it's perfect, and good enough. Keep learning my friend, and just do your best.
