What is the best way to widen a fender?

HI All I have a1936 chevy sedan that needs wider rear fenders. How do I go about this? Thanks

 

metal and welding then make it straight prime paint

 

I have made 2 inch wider AD truck fenders by starting with two sets of fenders. I cut one set at the bolt flange and the other set just two inches in from the flange. Then weld. Another option would be to split the fenders and add a strip of metal the amount needed.

The ones I did are out back in the scrap pile. Made the truck look like a 1 ton.

Buy fiberglass fenders that are 2 inches wider. Not a fan of fiberglass but bang for the buck 2 inch wider fenders are good.

 

On then 42 Chevy I am building, I cut off the mounting flange, and added a 1 1/2 inch strip of metal. A lot of work, but the fenders look great when done, and that did the job to get the tires covered again

 

buy resessed rims if u have the room.
