Given that you'll have to leave clearance on top for suspension movement, I wonder if it's worth the work though, VS. just filling the gaps from the fender toward the tire, and using a smooth hubcap.
Nah. It'll eat a Saturday, but it's not that difficult (for my setup.) All I have to do is:
-Pull the strut
-Remove the spring
-Reinstall the strut leaving the tie rod out
-Mount a foam block around the tire and use a brake depression rod to keep it steady.

-Using an underhoist, move the wheel up and down, side to side, and start trimming for clearance.

Once I get a rough blank made, I can just build the mold at my leisure.
