    Hahaha, no problem making the idea that you need.

    I have complicated, and I started tertiary school that, but I work weekends.
    I started with the creation of the fender, first a model in cardboard, to take measures.



    Then, the most difficult, passing it to the sheet metal. :wink:


    cutting and bending.




    Temporarily bolted, then will joined with pop rivets .

    I didn't realize you were leaving the bottom alone, I just assumed the whole case would be tapered!!!
    Awesome Very original work.


    By the way if that metal is galvanized (which it looks like to me) Take extra care in prepping it for paint and definitely get a good etching primer.

    yes, it is galvanized, I sanded it first and then I paint it with paint for galvanized metal and aluminum.
    I pop rivets to attach the fender, then I sand it.



    my new acquisition, a fan CooleMaster Megaflow.


    cut for the wheel.



    I prepare the sheet, sanding it.


    I put the putty.


    paint the front.
