Default Awesome cuda convertible parts!

Those would be great parts to reproduce! Great idea Ken! The rear inner fenders for a 70-71 Cuda or Challenger Convertible (e-body) are usually so destroyed - I'm sure there would be plenty of people wanting a set. That would definately help all the people building clone cars, or restoring their original cars. Ken's pretty good with metal - he's humble, but he makes all kinds of cool stuff for his Cuda convertibles at http://www.ebodyconvertibleconversions.com/ I'm glad I found this site - bumping into people all over the place.

For that number you might be able to try explosive forming, your laws regarding explosives might be a little less restrictive than ours,
The russians did a lot of work with it,
from what i have read you make a mould either male or female and it can be out of fibre glass, then you lay your panel on the mould and tape it there to seal it, you then stick small strips of cordex to the panel and submerge it in water, then Ka boom
have allways wanted to try it,
Australia used it to form the yacht that took the America's cup, i think it was Kookaburra, they did it in Perth and i did talk to the guy that did the exploding,
but he spends most of his time in China now, no restrictions there.
Just bought it all back
