Works now. Pretty impresive, clawed end and all.
I was always under the impression that fiberglass just exploded when treated like that. It was the reason I just ran a rotted out beat tub on my old CJ 5.
BTW, your flared 4Runner 1/4s and fenders WILL be purchased for my turbo Runner. Love the look.

well now ... I can't talk for every manufacture , It's only our product I can speak for .. But the industry has come a long way since the days of "exploding" parts .. all comes down to techniques and resins , and how there used .

I look forward to helping you out with the flared pieces <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Holy CRAP! Those are some tough fenders! Not to ask the magician about his magic, but how exactly did you get them that strong? Multiple woven mats?

no magic .. it just not "production"-"production" I like to think it's the care I take in each and every piece I hand lay build . like a new born .. materials and resins ...

Amen to that! I am backing this man 150%! I love the work he put out and it still impresses me to this day!

I will be putting some work into the yota here in the next 2 months so keep an eye peeled!

Corey is the man for fiberglass, hands down!
