Last fall, I think someone was asking about how rabbit flares looked. I think that is what is on this
ebay car. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...item=2467509322 doesn't look to bad. - Garold |

I'm pretty sure that rabbit flares are radiused (I.e. circular) and these aren't, plus the ad says they are not rabbit flares. So no. seven out - line away. No dice.
I almost bought a set on ebay a few months ago for like $15 - I wish I had now - I haven't seen any since. Anyways - I have a set of fibreglass GT flares for my car, so that's probably what I'll run. |

Okay, this will be my first attempt to post a pic on this site, if all goes as planned you should be seeing a side view of my dirty-ass (not it's fault, no front suspension installed to roll it out for a bath) '73 with SC flares. If not, then I'm just going to bed, screw it! :finger2: .....too many of these (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif)

They're welded-on metal flares. I've got some photographs that the PO gave me showing the car stripped down to bare metal (including the flares), I just need to get my scanner working properly. The only other pic I have at the moment is this one:
