I'm finishing up on my restoration (71) and I installed steel flares. I dont want to put on FG rocker panels but I know that is gonna be the easist way. I don't usually take that route.
So..., I'm sure that to fabricate the flared ends is gonna be labor intensive with the cut ,weld, english wheel work and all that crap. I'm taking recommendations from the club... what do you guys think? I have looked for steel flared rockers and can't find a thing. I know that even if I could find some I would need to cut and weld to adjust for my flare install. Anyone have a solution or been there? TIA, KP |

The only metal flared rockers are custom made...
Clay has them on his car ( the best set I have seen) Joe at Series 9 has some on his car, and I am making them for my car as well - Here is a few shots of the rockers on Clay's car - I think they were done by his paint and body guy - Attached image(s)

I saw a thread a LONG time ago where somebody showed how to modify standard steel rockers for flared fenders. It may have been before the club/world split.
It showed how to cut the rocker then bend it and re-weld in few small patches. Looked great when done. --- bill |
