Model A Fender Flare
Model A is BSA stock distance full wheel fender set front front to back. 4 sets of fenders. Each Section contains a 1/8″ and 1/4″ section that must be glued together prior to use. As such, be sure when gluing that you mirror the wheel fenders so that you have a left and right side. Middle section needs very little work, front aero will need to be shaped to liking. As it is made of Balsa wood, this step literally takes less than 30 seconds by hand with 80 grit sandpaper, even less with an orbital sander. If using orbital sander, I would simply just use 220 grit as anything less will probably be too aggressive.
Full Fender
Full Balsa fenders give the builder the choice on how they want to shape their fenders. Each fender will consist of 2 pieces that will need to be glued together incorporating a center rail spacer to eliminate fender rub. Make sure when gluing that you mirror the wheel fenders so that you have a left and right side. 2 spacers are provided that must be trimmed to size according to your wheel spacing. This kit can be used for both BSA and Extended wheel base cars. Simply add the spacer piece inside the gap between the two fenders. Sand to desired shape. An extended wheelbase will have a front flare that extends past the length of the car. Simply trim with razor or coping saw, sand to desired shape
