Welcome aboard! I remember seeing your ride on volksrods. So you widened the whole car right? I can see the extension on the bottom. Looks good!

Between the fenders? not sure where specificly you are talken about , but all the body work is done with sheet metal, with some dynaglass filler over the welded areas, between the fenderwalls and engine compartment is just a layer of insulation and air space.

Between the fenders and the body where the beading normally goes. I'm just curing how you got the smooth transition. Looks good!

It,s welded together, then ground the welds , then dynaglass , The whole car is welded together, all fenders, running boards to body and fenders, roll cage to body , body to pan, etc. It is solid as a rock, I have stood on top of the fenders just to see how strong they were, they seem to hold up.
