George, I have a question. How do you get the tire off if you have a flat? Is there enough room to wiggle it out? It's hard to judge the distance in the pictures. I like them and thought about making some like yours but was afraid of the flat tire issue.

Great looking fenders, George, that is how I will build my next pair, (not wood this time). The only question I have is, how do you protect the interior of the fender from moisture. Undercoating? I used truck bed liner (Line-X) and it works great.
Ron- The links worked for me...anyone else have problems with them?
Warpony- Good question and one I expected. The outer wheel cover and trim are attached to each other and fit over the rest of the fender. Only half of the outer trim is presently caulked. I will add a very small bead of caulk to weatherproof the other half but still allow the panel to be removed to change a flat. I also plan on putting a couple of screws in the panel to secure it in place.
Norm- How does the saying go..."Being cheap is the mother of invention"?
Bruce, I probably should have waited until winter and finished off the inside first since I'm going camping in a couple of weeks. But I had to choose between looking good driving down the road or having cabinet doors and well you know...

George, watch that stuff! It can/will expand too far and make some nasty bulges or tear the skin(s) from the bracing and ruin all your work. There are different kinds of expanding foam so read the can or abandon the idea all together.
