Nice project Greg! Are those the wider GT flares? Do you remember where you bought them? They look like a nice fit. Did you get the rocker covers to match? Can't wait to see it with paint. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

For a while it was looking like you were going to keep sanding the rust and run out of metal before you got some primer on there.

As usual the suby guys are inspiring me to get mine put back together.

When I get mine done, I'm going to have to check yours out. I'm in your neck of the woods every so often.

What is that shifter setup? That looks delightfully better than the factory piece.

I don't think you will find those wider flares in steel. The factory steel flares were narrower and the wide ones have been made in F/G by aftermarket companies

I did get yelled at for polishing the car!!! It was tuff pulling the trigger to put paint on the car...So long getting to bare metal....I played with the idea of just clear coating the car!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drunk.gif)

primed, sanded, bondo'd, trial fit the rockers, primed and I'll probably sand some more...I think Im slowly getting this body work thing..

The rockers are close.. I need to trim a little more metal and a second pair of hands would help with final placement of the flares..
