Managed to save original plastic inner fenders
Was a fun 8 days
But I think they came out good

Alain:

I assume these inner fenders were wet sanded?

 

I answered your question in a previous post with all the details
Yes the inner fenders were wet sanded by hand

"Start with 800 wet dry then go to 1000 1500 2000 2500 and 3000 and hand polish"

Alain: I wasn't sure since an answer stated wet dry. Thanks for clarification.

 

No problem hope my answer was not to ruff?

Thanks for the kind words

Very Nice Alain, !! Where did you get your glass if I may ask? Looks great

 

Hi Eddie
The glass is from Auto City Classic I got the factory green tint
The price is reasonable

I think that’s wonderful news I bought the same but I haven’t unwrapped it !! Figuring it was safer packed I put the boxes in storage I was worried that with my luck they would stop manufacturing the glass lol any tips for sources of replacement rollers or felts? Just so I have them at the ready?

 

All glass ready for installation.Just finished assembly
A few photos
