So, flaring the fenders for the Neocar proved to be a bit of a challenge because its not a regular f/g car.. these have to be steel. So. This is basiclally how im going to make HPH style flares out of stock steel fenders... Hopefully (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)

Anyways.. heres me starting to take the paint off the fender and reinforce it because streching the metal will warp the shape of the fender.

Hope you aprove Felix!

oh ya, ignore the crappy welding.. I wasnt using a helmet, and I only wanted tacks on the fender, but the two bars being attached I just wanted strong.. will not affect fender at all (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif)

I'm confused, what exactly are you doing? Are these for another car or do you have plans on replacing the ones that are on your car right now?

This is not for my car.

My car is getting f/g.

THis is for the NEOcar.

ie Felix's concept thing.. He wants steel, I want fiberglass.

Im building steel flares for his car because John cant do it because of his work schedule.

so you plan on flairing the fender then installing it? i went to the flair party for korijo. john had a strip of material that one would use to compare the size/shape of the flair, hammers, palm nailer, mobile plennishing tool. that was the method you used previously correct? i see you added some info but i'll just keep going. how do you keep both fenders (flairs) equal when they're off the car?
