TWO
To start our project, we measured and cut a
piece of welting. We added about 6" onto our measurement for positioning
of the welting later on.
With our piece cut to length, we
then notched the welting to match our fender radius. This was done by cutting triangle
piece from the welting to the bead. This photo shows the radius notching and the
cool tool used to do the job. If for some reason you haven't seen this tool
yet, Sears is the place to get one.
Once, the notches had been cut, we test
fit our work on the fender radius to see if more notching was needed. The spacing
used here will work for just about any radius. Straight sections only need trimming
at the bolt holes. They can be trimmed out now or after the welting has been
attached to the fender.
  These 2 photos show the welting applied to the fender. The first
is right after the welting was applied. The second photo show the same area after clean
up. You really do not want any adhesive on the body side of the welting. This
would make positioning of the fender difficult.
This photo below, shows the finished results.
