1934 Plymouth PE Truck Fender
9 Attachment(s)
Need a simple buck which will reverse ?? for the rear fenders of the Pickup I'm restoring, it came with 37/8 fenders which are completely wrong. Fortunately I'm also working on a 33 coupe that I can get contours data from. The build that this thread refers to can be found here http://www.allmetalshaping.com/showthread.php?t=12747
Attachment 39129 Attachment 39130 Attachment 39131 Attachment 39132 Attachment 39133 Attachment 39134 The sheet represents the bed side to give a datum to work from. Attachment 39135 Attachment 39136 These stations are made from 5/8" x 0.08" aluminium flat Attachment 39137 The plan is to form a set of profile gauges, cut a base and back board bracket them together, cut a curved to the wheel arch profile less the material for the rolled edge. Fix the curved piece to the base board and screw the stations in position, they will probably need to have radial support on the inside but time will tell. |

Little bit more today, the stations are formed, the back board and wheel arch are cut, will soon know if I need to add extra supports to stop flexing of the profiles when in use.
Found that 2 hacksaw blades together cut just under the 0.08" to give a tight fit to the backboard Attachment 39146 The wheel arch board is cut 5/8" inboard to allow for the wired edge, plan is to screw a piece of 1 1/4" ally strip to the profile and then hacksaw the location slots to secure the inside edge of the profiles. when finished I will cut the centre out of the board to give access to fit. Attachment 39147 Jacks are used to aid initial line up and a flexible straight edge will be used to fine tune the curvature flow. Attachment 39148 It is my intention to only use this buck for just one pair of fenders although it would be easy to modify it for other 33/34 Chrysler products. Hope you find this of interest. |
Thanks for sharing Tom. Nice work! Did you use a profile gauge to get the shape of the sweeps? Was that the flexible straightedge?

Some time back I took one of my cobra rear fender bucks to Geoff Moss while having wheeling tuition, he showed me this simple method which works on most panels. It wont work on the outside of the wheel arch, will try and remember to post a pic when the time comes. |
It looks like it would work good. I will be looking forward to seeing your progress.

Hi Tom nice pictures,what Iam thinking of is using the 33 fenders up front and making a set of fenders for the rear,as the sides of a woodie are flat and straight,Iam think more of the pick up style of fender on the side that joints the body,when you think of getting rid of that dash insert let me know,I may be interested.Dave

Strange view, the Coupe is on the ramp, the inner fender gives the appearance of going out instead of inwards. Attachment 39183 Just have to check the flow of the sweeps before locking them in Attachment 39184 Note the way the sweeps are located into the wheel arch trim line Attachment 39185 Attachment 39186 The buck is located to the base board so that excess material can hang free.
