HELP! I need to get the fenders flared!

I've got extra unpainted front and rear fiberglass fenders, but I need to get them flared to better fit the new wheels and tires and I need to get them cut and fitted with vents.

Anyone know of a shop or fiberglass technician in or near Riverside California that can do this?

Please email me at eddymelissa@earthlink.net

eddymelissa's 1963 Austin-Healey 3000 eddymelissa's 1963 Austin-Healey 3000Couple of pics of the Healey with the wire wheels. They look pretty, but they require tiny tires (165/75/15) and I've heard horror stories of them disintegrating under hard acceleration.

eddymelissa's 1963 Austin-Healey 3000 More recent pictures show replacement Minilite lookalikes (knockoffs in front and bolt ons in back). eddymelissa's 1963 Austin-Healey 3000

eddymelissa's 1963 Austin-Healey 3000 Chevy 327 makes car fun to accelerate, but frightening to stop.

Had lot's of cooling problems, but I sorted that out with a home made air dam, Edelbrock water pump, bigger aluminum mechanical fan, and an ugly but effective fan shroud. eddymelissa's 1963 Austin-Healey 3000

Front brakes are 74 Capri Girling Type 16s (bolt on modification) and slotted Austin Healey BJ8/MGC rotors. eddymelissa's 1963 Austin-Healey 3000

Some info on this is on page 2. It's got a Wilwood dual circuit master cylinder and Cadillac/Lincoln calipers/rotors in the back.

I also added 5 point harnesses and a rollbar.

I'm keeping the Minilite knockoff hubs in the front (205X65X15) and using bolt on wheels (in the ford bolt pattern) in the back (225X55X16).
