New Items GEE Fenders

[5KidsRacing]

Received my first set of GEE fenders yesterday and I am impressed! To be honest I like making my own parts so I don't usually get too excited about purchased parts, but damn these are fine! I hate making fenders and I can use these over and over!

Great product!

Let us know your process for installing the GEE fenders (type of glue or tape) and how you can remove them for other cars. I have a set and need to install them. Thanks 5K

My first thought was Elmers glue.... I will let you know what I end up doing.

I use foil tape on the inside of the fender that attaches to the car, apply some epoxy to the foil tape and attach to the the body. It is a strong hold and when you want to remove just peel the tape of the fender and sand the epoxy off car.

Good idea!

I have had good luck with plain old supper glue and removal with a razor blade. They come off easier then one would think.

I did the same thing. One side came off with a small piece of the body still attached but I was planning on recycling the car anyway so it didn't matter. I just gave the fender a light sanding to get the wood off and they were ready to be reused.

I super glue mine on. Then I found I could take them off real easy by dropping another car on a fender , and it popped off very easy without breaking. So that's how I will remove the fenders in the future, "NOT"

Like K C Racing says they come off very easy

To attach:

1. Monokote Trim on where I want to attach fender.

2. Lightly sand Monokote with 400 grit paper.

3. Attach fender with a mixture of CA and Elmer's glue.

To remove:

1. Peel Monokote from car.
2. Douse fender with CA-remover.
3. Remove Monokote/CA from fender.

+1 This is how I attach the fender to the car. Removing them is a breeze too.

I use foil tape on the inside of the fender that attaches to the car, apply some epoxy to the foil tape and attach to the the body. It is a strong hold and when you want to remove just peel the tape of the fender and sand the epoxy off car.

Anyone have a real preference for type or name brand of epoxy? Just got a set of DD4H fenders in the mail today and was curious how they would take paint/ should I even worry about paint/ best way to attach, etc. I had just planned on CA'ing them but love the idea of being able to remove them without damaging the car.

I've also used CA glue with no problems removing the fenders afterwards, just do as outlined in this thread and you'll be OK.

Sounds good, I have allot more aluminum tape than I do monokote too/images/boards/smilies/smile.gif
