If I'm going to take the time and effort to make a mold, I feel it's worth it getting the model/plug as well done as possible. if I half ass the model, the molds will reflect that, and every part from the molds will too. And it's not that much work to retain the curve on top of the lip and the beauty line on the lower part of the lip.

This weekend I'm just pulling my fenders out of the barn, and finish up re-organizing my garage so I have some nice space to work on these fenders.

When I start cutting and welding I'll be posting pics.

I've been experimenting with reinforcing the fender front to back, as the fender holds up the Rad support. On my tilt front, I fabbed some bars to hold the rad. support, but I'd like to make these fenders include something so additional supports aren't necessary
Is it possible to make just the fender skin, I could attach it to my exsisting fender framework. I could flange the fender the thickness of your fiberglas all the way around
