Fender

I'd make the bottom parallel to the shock, round the corners to about a half inch radius.

That's exactly what my dad said. Right after he said it was to long and looked like ****. I can always trim it up, and probably will. I got the scallops taped off and since these pics I have laid down a couple of coats of Red Metallic. You can't see in the pics but there is fine silver tape out lining the scallops under the green tape.

Well, It's got three coats of Red Metallic. I will let it cure overnight, give it a good once over tomorrow and lay down three or four or maybe more coats of clear. It might lay down some pinstripes to give the colors a nice contrast.

Very nice work. It is looking like it will be one beautiful paint job.

Would love to have your knowledge. Looking forward to the final pics and product.

Looks good but I've got a question for you.
How hard is it going to be to get the wheel out when you need a new tire? I would probably cut some of it off.

To change the wheel I will either have to remove the fender or borrow my buddies bike lift or buy my own which is one of these and it works very well. http://www.harborfreight.com/high-po...ift-99887.html
