Default Re: Reproduction splash shield quality

The fit of reproduction running board splash aprons is not good. The curvature at the front does not fit either original 1931 fenders or reproduction 1931 fenders. I had to reshape the curvature of the L & R aprons by enlarging the nose radii 1/8". To make the new radii, I used an air hammer with a flat spoon bit. The fenders on my car are originals. If at all possible, restore your original running board aprons to avoid the ugly fit of the reproductions.
