Okay so this is my flares 73 I picked up saturday. It is a 73 with a build date of 12/72 & has a strange paint code of 98. That shows a custom porsche color. In the gas compartment I'm guessing that is the original color? Any way to find out what the color is supposed to be?

QUOTE what is the best product to use for filler on the cracks? A welder. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Seriously, I'd take it all off and get down to the nitty gritty. Then apply MarGlas. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) I would recommmend actually removing the flares completely and reinstalling them. 9 times out of 10 they are not properly bonded, and little to no rust prevention work is applied to the body so what ends up happening is water splashes in the wheel well, gets into the crack where the flare meets the body, and the body panel rusts out under the flare. I know it will be a major PITA but if you want the car nice, and long lasting you need to make certain it is all properly prepped and bonded. There are several epoxy products made specifically for bonding fiberglass to metal. That is the first step most people are unaware of, and one you need to be. |
