Psycho pops is on a distinguished road
Default Wheel arches

After a few months of work and holiday commitments i was able to put in a few hours on the car today..
Started with a sheet of 9mm external ply, cut a 25cm x120 cm strip and routed grooves along its width,



Accuracy wasn't important as i just wanted to make it flexible.



Then formed a back plate cut out over the axle suspension and handbrake
cable


Loosely screwed together the two





Before sealing with resin and glassing along the join, inside and out,



Once hardened I will completely glass the inside for weather protection and fit brackets front and rear, will then glass in to the body shell to keep the whole thing watertight and rigid.

One done one to go

Pops
