Default Quick wheel well question

I see a lot of you guys using Country Crock margarine containers for your wheel wells.

Are you guys using the large ones or the small ones? I have a New Bright JK that I want to make some wheel wells for and I am just curious what size you are all using.

Thanks

I used two 15 oz. containers cut in half for my 1.9 Proline Ramcharger.




The New Bright JK body has a wide opening in the front fenders though. When in doubt - measure twice!

Another idea, and probably a bit stronger, is to use the top clear case from a stack of blank cds. Like this:

Margarine tubs might be too round for your JK. I just bought some thin lexan sheet and shaped it to my liking. You can easily bend it by hand.
