I'm getting ready to build out a couple of my bikes and want to use that style rack. Quality metal fenders provide a lot more strength then some realize. You can also hide a brace on the underside of the fender.

J.P. Weigle has some pictures on his Flikr but doesn't have them tagged in a way that is easy to find. http://www.flickr.com/photos/49353569@N00/ Great photos if you like that style bike. He updates very regularly.
