yeah i like them too.. the taillight was a real bitch to build around... but it worked

first i cut a piece of sheet metal up and bent and grinded and welded the hell out of it.


once i made it fit nicely, i pop riveted it in place. the i used flexible body filler to fill all the seams and such. lots of sanding to shape it a bit and voila...



nothing is plastic welded.. as a matter of fact the back part of the tail is metal and the front is plastic..

Thanks. it took a fair bit of work.
nope plastic didnt crack at all i just used a Black and Decker Handisaw that i got for xmas from the inlaws. i new itd come in handy sometime. Also i used a Diegrinder with a round grinder bit to clean it up.Yeah it didnt turn out too bad. and like i said if i dont like it at any time ill just pick up another fender. it was a cheap little mod that gives it some character.
