How are the fenders being finished after pulling the metal out? Is it a filler or what? I was thinking another strip of metal was being added to the middle and then being welded back together. Came out great!

That's a sweet throttle plate too. Defined is awesome lol.

They weld in more metal in the open spaces. Then it is covered with some kind of filler. The filler is mainly just to cover the wheel scratches.

I will ask next week a little more about the process.

Oh OK cool. That's what I thought but from the pics it went straight from the holes being there to filler or whatever smoothed out so I wasn't sure. That's awesome then! No need to ask, not for me anyway, I just thought it was cool! Thanks!
