Installing flares, how good is good, how would Scott B do it? Options

[ruby914]

I am now installing my flares and hoped to use very little body filler.
I located the flares, sheet metal screwed, marked off with a sharpie, started the cut with a cutoff wheel, finished with a body saw keeping tabs at the screws, removed paint on both sides, tacked between the tabs and tacked until I could cut off the tabs with a good fit. I continued to tack until about every 3/4". Never ran a weld over 1/2" at a time. I tried to move my welds around to reduce heat.
I was happy with my work feeling the flare had more die marks than warping from my welding.
So standing back I see something I am not sure I like.
This may not just be a welding question but what a factory 914 GT looks like?
What I am seeing is, before the flare, flares out, the fender pulls in. I see this mostly in the back of the front flare. I have only cut the 2nd front fender off and I see the remaining fender has pulled in before any welding.
This is a first time for me and I am sure there is a lot to be learned with many years in the business.
So is the pulling in the norm? In all the beautiful photos of clean lines, how much body filler is reasonable.
Is there ways to limit this from the start or is this normally fixed with hammer and dolly as you go?
I will try to add a photo of where it is pulling in.

Thanks

the subduction of the metal just before the vertical portion of the metal
edge of your metal flare could have been supported by two or three temporarily
welded straps to maintain the position the surface. Not all stamped parts are the same.
The factory used full fenders. Some 6s used even more sedate flares.
You will see radial, blended interfaces.
There are a few good sites dedicated to construction of flares.
Another shot of adding flares...



This picture is for reference (not my car), hope this helps in your quest.
I know that I was challenged by letting in the flares, especially correcting the termination underneath.
I had to add material because there wasn't enough metal on the flares to terminate them properly.

I think the straps to maintain the position the surface is not a bad idea.

Thanks for the great link, I will look it over carefully.
