Aim:- To create the Drip Area, Sill, Bumper, Baffle(Splash), and A-Pillar mounting according to design consideration.
Theory:-
A fender is the curved portion of the car's body that sits over and houses the wheels. The purpose of a fender is pretty simple. Its purpose is to keep mud, rocks, and other road debris from being thrown around by the tires. In other words, the fender is a housing for the wheels that keeps road debris contained. If there was nothing covering the wheels, all kinds of debris would be kicked up by the rotating tires.The fender not only protects your car from sustaining damage from road debris but it prevents this debris from being thrown up at other vehicles on the road.
