I wonder if that was fabricated from scratch or built up off of existing cladding...
Nice work, even if I consider it a bit OVERdone...

That's that one-off MoonCraft VX that has the funky turbo set-up.
IIRC, they made all new cladding for that out of ABS.
Modding our fenders for scissor-doors could be tricky if you've ever seen them without the cladding on. It's just flat sheet metal under there, so you'd likely need to fab something completely different using the stock fender cladding as a start.

There are 4 "mooncraft" VX's in existance. The body kit was available to buy but was rediculously high priced. The rear end of the kit was pretty fugly! The turbo sat extremely low and would have been taken out on the first speed bump. If you can get onto the old VMAG VX site there was some stuff about it on there you could search for. I tried getting on the site but was unsucsessful. Don't know if it is still up or not.

Nope Looks like Club Vmag died the slow painful death I thought it would... They say "reorganizing"... I'm glad we didn't stay there.

That you guys for all of your advice and ideas and when the truck is done you'll see it in pertersen's(god I hope for a cover) and you'll see it here first.
I too would like a set of desert cladding. I am pretty sure I could come up with the design (1" diameter increase, 1-3" of flare) but alas, I dont know how to lay fiberglass.
Let me know if you find someone to fab some.

It's fun to rebadge...
Laying glass aint too hard. You can find plenty of information on the web about it. Most of the work is in the after-layup, pre-painting phase where you sand sand sand and prime prime prime and sand prime sand prime sand prime, paint sand paint sand... you get the idea.
