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

I believed that M471 option was a full fender, didn't know that they welded flares.
I learn something here everyday...





There's some other documentation that I have and can't find at the moment, listing
the GT stuff in 1970. It's just my memory could be failing me...oldtimers, ya know.
It doesn't matter at this point.
