it must be the welding and painting fumes. That or Mike and I were talking in the lobby while at the same shrinks office.
OP
I'm pretty proud of myself given I have no real clue what I'm doing most the time.
At the very least the future owner one day will be happy I covered the primer in my left over PS5 rattle can when they peal off the sliders/corners one day.

What part of this is my fault ?You really don't lol. The baby was napping and my 3 year old was sitting still for once in her life so I decided to retreat to the garage. @Midnight LJR was explaining to me the process a while back and I figured it would be a fun thing to try.
If you really want to though I'm available most nights after 7pm
It's all @Plumber1

IIRC, he already owns a Miata.
OP
The miata has been gone for a long time. After fixing it and having some fun with it, I sold it, and the funds went to the purchase of the atlas.
Sorry to disappoint about the flames.
If you decide to go that way I suggest you go with Alum.
per Genrights website: Aluminum fenders are a great way to save weight, only weighing 9.3 lbs each, compared to the steel version, which weigh 21.75 lbs. each! That's over a 24 lbs. reduction!
OP
They are on order, I got the alum 4" non-Highline version F/R. 9.3lbs sounds pretty amazing.
I may have found a buyer for the MC set up so I'll be pulling the fenders tonight. With any luck, GR will ship out the fenders soon.

I may have found a buyer for the MC setup so I pulled the flares.
While the fenders are off I decided to work on making my front outboards a bit more pleasant to the eyes.

Parts are also starting to come in
Now hopefully GR sends me a shipping notification soon so I'm not down forever.

Wow you don't waste any time. Can't wait to see the installed.
OP
I used the welder to build up material around the holes, quick taps on the trigger, then used the grinder to make them flush filling in pin holes if needed. The next step would have been sanding, bondo, paint, but I skipped the bondo since they will be hidden anyways and it was more of a thing to do.
