Steve, I liked the look of the fiberglass fenders but 1. didn't like the cost and 2. thought they all looked too big for the HF 12" tire. As a low cost (labor intensive) alternative you might consider making your own as I did with leftover aluminum I had from my build. George.

G&P,
I agree the glass fenders wouldn't look right on a 12" HF tire, but on the 15" X 6" chrome wire wheels with 205R/70 15 tires I have, think they will be looking OK. I do like your aluminum fenders though, mater of fact I think they're great, :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Hey Steve, Thanks for the compliment. I just noticed that you've already ordered your glass fenders. Sounds like a good price. At one time I wanted to upgrade the axles, tires, and fenders but I decided to put a cap on spending to keep peace in the family. ;) George.
