narrowed fenders,not hood.
just cut some metal and pinch together where you want it and weld....

stoneyxj · 02-07-2009, 03:51 PM

like this??

not the prettiest thing. but even with the crappy welding it still doesn't come apart when its been jammed up against rocks!

gart · 02-07-2009, 05:39 PM

8" total out of the hood and fenders.

I saw a good build thread on someone narrowing their's. I never took the time to take pictures while doing the ones I've done. Maybe someone will chime in that remembers the build on the hood.

I just cut mine in half, and took 8" out of the center.

roczuk · 02-09-2009, 01:38 PM

here is how I did it

hood

measure and cut the desired amount

attached it on the hood

look in the top right corner of the hood, you will need to cover that up so that the sides will go all the way back

fordori · 02-09-2009, 03:43 PM

thats exactly how i did mine but it just didnt turn out that clean! ^^^
