Thread: Radiused wheelwells

Tweet

Has anyone out there radiused wheelwells on a "shoebox" Mopar before? Any pitfalls, problems, etc. I should be aware of before starting? This probably isn't strictly a Mopar discussion, as most 50's cars are pretty much similarly constructed, so if any of you have any advice about the best way to radius wheelwells, please pass it along. Thanks.

What type of tubing do you recommend?

Gotcha. I was thinking copper, but wasn't sure. Thanks for the info.

Look at the front wheelwell openings off of the same year. Some people use to cut the front wheelwell out of another fender leaving extra, mark the back, weld it in and finish it off.

I had that idea also, and was looking at a '56 Buick four door, because the rear wheel openings are pretty much round, like I'm looking for. Thanks for the post.
