Hello everyone.
I think I heard (magazine advert or somewere like that) about some outfit that was making widened fiberglass fenders. I think the were 3 inches over stock. Anybody know who this might have been? or anyone with experience with widening stock fenders?
I would really appreciate some help on this.

I can't tell you where I saw them, but somewhere I saw widened rear fenders. Is that what you are looking for? I'd check all the usual venders.

It's true. I really don't do anything but browse the Internet looking for trouble...

take a pair of big bolt fenders and graft on the arches from the small bolt. Whalla - 3" wider and the smaller opening.

or do like I am and put steamroller tires under the baby bolt with a big-bolt front clip.

Rear fenders in fiberglass are available in 2" wider widths from chev's of the 40's
