Does anyone have a source for the rear fender well on the scrambler? Not the plastic flares, but the metal flare that attaches to the wheel well. I tried making my own but it’s a lot more than I want to take on,

Craig (CertifiableJeep) can probably explain the process to you

Good morning!
Long story short, I was able to fix mine with using aftermarket front fenders and cutting them and piecing them together.
Short of that, I do know that there is an aftermarket (or was) side you could get, but when I saw the quality of it, the stamping wasn't a stamping, it was a hammering over a buck.
So, that is an option as well I guess... make your own wooden buck and hammer over and make a new part... or make a 2 piece and put it in a press. Not sure what tools/options you have.
Good luck... it isn't a ton of fun either way.
This shows more of the pictures of cutting up the front fender and fitting.

That’s a great idea. Unfortunately my fender wells are too far gone for a patch, I need the complete fender on both sides and it looks like it’s take at least 4-6 front fenders to make up enough pieces. I tried the hammer and wooden buck and aside from the amount of work it took for even a small sections, I couldn’t get the exact profile. It was close but the corners weren’t as sharp as original.
I may have to just do it in small sections and piece it together, which I was trying to avoid. The only other option I have is hoping someone is cutting out this section on a good body or parting out a good tub. This is the last piece I need to finish off my body and it sucks not being able to get it done

Yeah, I think I used 3 front fenders... but that was the cheapest alternative compared to waiting around for a tub to be scrapped or a new one to come along.
I also got a scratch/dent sale on the fenders, so the cost was a bit less.
Good luck.
