Default Inner fender wells

So I have been looking around and found some people made some wheel wells out of Tupperware containers for the honcho and other types of bodies. But I have not seen any for the proline f-250 half cab. Has any body made them for that body?

Also I saw proline made a floor pan for the honcho but have not seen it on anything but the Cherokee.

Lets see some pictures!

More Looking

I used cool whip containers once...
then delhi garnish containers.

just be sure it's flexible and not brittle.

I have the Proline chassis pan as well...
Started to fit it...
but I prefer how individual wheel wells work instead.

besides...
who'd want a chassis/belly tray that collects debris and dirt
and brings it home wit'cha ? Lol

The only Proline chassis tubs I've seen available are for a 12.3" WB
RPP sells them I believe.

Thanks for the google link. As I said ive been looking around but have yet to see someone make something for the f250 body. That's why I asked if anyone has, I will be doing it as soon as I get a free day to make everything and paint it up.

You just need to cut them to fit the Ford body. There's no real template that I know off.

I'm sure there are tons pf people out there that have done it.

I used Publix lunch meat containers. After I fit them I sprayed me with rustoleum flex paint. The plastic is softer than lexan but it holds up good.

I used blank CD cases (the clear top part) for my rubicon kit

Cutting in half was almost a perfect fit, just a bit of trimming to fit under the hood

I made some from dollar store Tupperware-like containers, trimmed to fit a JK body then painted with matte black Krylon Fusion paint.
They came together much better than I expected.

Those look really good!! Did you use a rectangular or round storage container?

I made some out of black one litre oil jugs. No need to paint what's already black!

They were rectangular with rounded corners.

Thanks for the idea. I may have to do this to my JK.

Used lunch meat containers on mine as well. Not sure the brand but they are clear cases with a red lid and the label is stuck to the lid.

Cut them in half and then trimmed one to fit and got the holes lined up, transferred to the other side and cut both together. Painted flat black on both sides and mounted them up. I liked them more than some because of the line they have around them so it's not just a flat inner fender surface.

Still haven't done the rear but the front only took maybe 15 minutes not counting the painting and drying time.
