Thanks everyone for all the positive comments! :mrgreen:

I need to make a trip to Home Depot and get some flat and round stock steel.
And get my fender/seat built.

Cant wait to see what you do on the seat!
Your build last year really got me thinking about full fender ideas! Great idea! Thanks for the inspiration...

There is a scrap yard near me that also sells steel (new stock). The cost is about 1/4 of what it costs at the Home Depot and Lowe's and the like. Those places really have jacked up prices on material. Of course that won't do you any good if there is no where around you like that.

Anyway, I'm liking your most recent rear fender the best.
I tried being serious, but it was boring.

Wow!
Coming from a master Fabricator/Artist such as yourself. I will take that as a huge compliment!

Thanks!

Thanks for tip I was thinking Home Depot might be way to pricey.
I have been looking at this web site...
http://www.metalsdepot.com/products/hrs ... cc&aident=

Friday is pay day so i will stop at HD on the way to work and see what they have.
If the price is completely out of line I will order from Metalsdepot.


Thanks for looking and all the positive vibes.

Nothing new yet, I did order some flat and round steel bar for the fender/seat.
Should be here early next week.

Just need to get some stuff done around here.
