JOE???? Planning 6 inch Rear Fender stretch
to add to fender tip and fill 2 taillight square holes, and 4 lic bracket holes
Cut, Weld and bodywork on primer quote $175
plus around $175 to paint vivid black.
I think it's too much, what you guys think?
planning using this taillight, same lic bracket, mounted lower.

i'm adding more to my fender.. .well actually using 2 totally diff fenders to make one bad *** long one. But I would say.... do it yourself. It's not that much work, plus you'll learn a skill that you can use whenever you want to prep and paint, and it will be more fun.

Sounds very reasonable to me for everything you want done.
Welding thin metal like the fender may not be the best place to learn, just FYI.
If you end up with bondo filler in the fender you may not want to powder coat, have not heard any real good experiences with that.

Looks like it'll be a one of a kind unit,very different from the current trend of chopping fenders.Good luck,price really doesn't sound so bad.Good quality tin work is pricey.

Man, thats a great idea. I REALLY wish I had figured your idea out a couple weeks ago. I love what your doing. I wound up buying the steel Dyna dresser fender from debrix, but after seeing this post, your way looks like a really awsome alternative to the dresser idea. And shoot, I paid more just for my fender than your paying to get yours customized! I always seem you miss the great ideas.
