Come on JP, make up a good answer to Thomas's question! I can hardly wait.
Talk to Bruce about a deal with the "Fat Tire" ale people. I think ULF needs a Fat Tire logo on his flank.

Hi JP,

Thanks for the kind words but you can still make hay with those flares. The metal is workable! Save all that hammer and dolly effort for after the major shaping is done. Maybe we need to have another flare party? Just don't know where I would find the time.

What he means is, he created them himself with hammer and dolly. Just banged 'em out from the inside. No added metal. His primer work leaves a bit to be desired. Could have at least rounded out the masking line! I know the car would be faster if it was all one color, but then we wouldn't have anything to rib him about.

You should'a listened to me and did'em wider to start with! Dad always said "If you don't have time to do it right the first time, where you going to find time to do it again?" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I had hammered-out flares when Ulf was still in diapers.

They are 225s. That pic makes em' look big, eh?
What appears to be the inside edge of the left side tire is actually the swingarm.....it's all in the lighting (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

225 Hoosiers are a bit wider than .....regular 225s. They cheat.

BTW, Doug Skinner took the pics & I stolt em' off the Bird Board. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif)

Oh I can see the tire just fine.. I just didnt know if they where hoosers or not, cus they look so big. Ya, daddy has 225 hoosers on 9in's and they are mondo compared to mine..

I like putting them on JUST for fun!

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

If the pic works, it should have better lighting of the tire.

OK, the muffler tip (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Ulf is looking all bleached out....just like I was that night at work.

Next SCCA is 31 July
Next PCA is 8 Aug

That's too long to wait. 3 July at Bremerton...I'm agoin'.

That thing at the Historics is iffy...11 July.
Sounds like they don't have their stuff togther.
Nobody is set to do the work. The SCCA may come thru.....didn't sound all that promising when I asked
the HMFIC.

you need to get some spacers for the front, looks like you have another 2" on each side to go!

Andy:

All that flare in front is for clearance at large full lock and suspension compression.
I also raised the front wheel openings bout 3/4 inch.

I have enuff trouble muscling the steering. Spacers would make it tougher..see "scrub radius" in your hot rod dictionary.I ain't as young as I used to be. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Hi JP,

I am actually thinking about taking on a few flare projects. Give me a shout when you are thinking about it. If you remove all the paint inside and out 9a big job), I could do the major stretching and let you finish off the smoothing part. You could tell me what your budget is and I could do as much as possible for that amount. The major stretching takes less time than all the smoothing, so that's a good way to save a few bucks.
