Any good fender work stands ?

I'm doing bodywork on my '46 IHC PU. I have been using sawhorses for working on the fenders. I can't help thinking there has to be a better way. Has anyone made any cool stands for working on fenders ect. ?

 

I use an old mud board stand I got from a brick layer, folds flat when not in use - would be real easy to make to. Think of a folding tv tray without the top that's held together with 2 chains

 

Sounds like a tall (bar stool height) directors chair would do too.
I use a couple of regular height directors chairs without the backs but I have to sit on a HF roll-around mechanics stool to work on them.

 

One of the best I've seen was just a stand (post on a base) with a piece of angle across it that the guy bolted the fender to using the bolt holes in the fender. he had it setup at the height that he liked to work at. I can't remember where the hell I saw it or when though.

 

bolt the fenders to some 2x4s, and srew those to a wall at a great working height for you, Keeps everything from moving around while your working on it...

 

Try Eastwood, they have some nice stands,

The back of a big old fat easychair. I had one that swiveled .Worked great, cover it with a sheet, Keeps primer of the chair sos you can also sit in it when you are done or get tired..

 

That's pretty much what the mud board stand looks like, but theires is nicer looking. lol

 

I like that Idea. So simple it just might work.

This guy made a nice one.

 

Yes he did, and his metal working skills are amazing.

 

I had a customer with some really ragged rear fenders (FG) on his 55 F100. They were going to take more time and effort than I really wanted to spend on them but he was paying an hourly rate so I went ahead and built this fixture to hold either one or both as pictured. The rear fenders were easy to work with since they bolt to a flat surface, the fronts would be a little more work but I think that I would use the same technique...

 

After wrestling with the fenders off my '33 Plymouth recently I decided next time I work on anything so oddly shaped I'll build a jig or fixture to hold them. The fronts are especially hard to handle. I have sawhorse and a couple of those adjustable body shop sawhorse deals, but the fenders just don't sit on them good.

I think I'd just make a frame out of some square tubing, shaped so you could bolt the fender to it with studs and wing nuts.
