Building a widebody overfender in 5 minutes

As the first overfender is now finished i thought I'd throw together a quick time lapse of the whole process for fun.
Enjoy!

How did you build the over fenders for the other side? How does one get the exact measurements?
It's amazing watching someone who clearly has proper bodywork skill doing this, compared to just a DIY guy. 👌👌

Love your methodical ways and how clean and simple it was. Seen a lot of other people do it themselves and they just don’t have an overall plan and just over complicate it and make more work, but can tell you’ve got a lot of experience and plan it out as the finished product shows. Great work and first video of yours I’ve seen so will subscribe now.

Thank you so much dude, really appreciate the kind words and you checking out the channel!
Are you planning on making a how to or a timelapse of you doing the other side on the front? Would love to see your technique on matching the sides up.
I'm so happy to have discovered your widebody method..! I am planning to go with a similar route as you for a widebody kit on my H3. Thank you a ton for the ideas!
came for the overfender, stayed for the soundtrack. Great work man

Thanks for the ideas! I've done a lot of fiberglass speaker boxes, automotive parts, ect, but I've never thought of using the foam to get the desired shape.
This overview is the best to show everything so far.. matched with great music it keeps you in tune without losing focus..👍👍👍
This is awesome, I was thinking of using the blue styrofoam but after video definitely considering the foam you used. Thanks for the tip, looks great!
Just rewatching these old videos again... You got me into doing diy body work man! Love your work and hope you keep it going!

Ah thanks dude. Been having a little break, but I’ll get back on it soon!
This is a very beautiful job and it's inspiring to make it myself! Maybe I'll make one for my Saab 9-3. It has a big dent on the side so a wider body kit like this would be suitable and would cover the damage.
Yeah... I have the feeling you've done this once or twice before. Mad respect your craft!
Wow! That's one way to make the wide bodey! Great work! I will need loads of ideas when i am ready to build the kit for my volvo 242... Cheers for inspiration! ADam

SICK SVX👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👌🏼. I had one as a loaner car in the early 2000s, my buddy owned the shop. No one had ever seen one in the small rural town I live in (population a bit over 1000). I really enjoyed that thing but it was missing something......horsepower. Nice fab work, you got me thinking now, my r50 might benefit from this. Shop time!
Wow! Pretty good job, you made it look easy. And end result looks so good. More power to you.

Very nice. Simple and clean! Did you have any issues with the door opening? Also since you laid your fiberglass over the foam would it have been worth it to just use that as a mold and add your small block off pieces to it to create a final with a gelcoat layer?
epic as always. perfect sound track too man!

Buddy massive respect on your work, wondering would you be interested one day in doing some over fenders on a Mk6 or mk7 ? I'm wanting to get a gti next year and just go full on it on wide body kit and stuff from all KZread videos I have seen you are the only guy who can do nice custom bidy work compared to others DIYing cutting fenders and welding in. Thanks
I applaud anyone who can do this. I have no experience even attempting to do body work, I only fix cars. I’m buying an old Subaru Loyale hopefully but i want to make my own widebody for it and your methods for doing it have CHANGED my way of going about it. I really hope I can pull it off 😂 AMAZING video.

How do you fasten the fender? Do you plug the holes with something or is it self-drilling screws? Looks hella dope, i have been planning to make some fenders and skirts for my jetta 2, 1988!
what kind of foam did you use? love the style of your craft!

WOW...This is Amazing" ...can i ask... do you think/feel cardboard could be used if also covered with aluminium foil tape???..instead to the Polyurethane foam board ?? it seemed like the Poly.foam board was used just to keep structure in space/distance from the car. once it was dry it looked like you took it off and did nothing more with it...so if i used cardboard for a tighter fit to the car, would it work? (thank you ahead of time)
Very cool and pretty, also great place to rust... Under fender and at holes you drilled for the screws...

Thanks dude! It's a 94 UK car but very different to how it looked originally.
I want to make one this looks alot easier that some of the other methods
Great skills! Consider using 2” wide clear plastic package tape instead of the metal tape. I’ve used it with success doing fiberglass & it’s cheaper. I’d try adding a “return” flange to the wheel opening to add stiffness. Once you cut the opening like you did, it’s very difficult to add a flange the wet glass won’t bend sharply & stay in place. I’ve seen rope glued to the inside & when the glass is laid on, you wrap it around & in, over the rope. I’m sure there’s plastic hose or foam that would work
Good job 👍
Thank you for these amazing and informative videos! Do you think it's worth it for someone with little experience to try and make their own fender flares, or would it be better to just buy proper fitting ones.
