RE: Custom front fender project & looking for some feedback
Very attractive fender....I would leave it as is...I like the lines of the fender tip as it came.
I would really like a fender that looked like it was molded to the radius of the wheel like that, but I also want to keep the look of the fender skirt; which I also like.
I think I am just going to go with the nativecustombaggers fender lowering brackets this winter.

I like it either ways but if I was forced to choose I would say trim it. The real deciding factor would be how difficult is it to trim without messing it up?

RE: Custom front fender project & looking for some feedback
Thanks for all the feedback, its probably going to be a couple months before its painted due to my painter is swamped & the weather here in the great northwest is wet wet wet for awhile, I will post when its all done though.
I bought this one off Ebay for around $200, very good quality, the spacers are 3/4", fender is a RWD part#1925-2755, its called a "rambler", measures 6.25" wide & is designed for a 16" wheel.
I think I'll trim it a bit, pretty easy with a die grinder & then finish it with a 6" disc sander, make a paper template of the front after the one side is done & then reverse it so both sides match.
