Hi Andyrew,

The Fuchs look very nice. Are you serious about rolling/pulling your fenders? I think you will have a problem getting enough clearance with that technique. I'm working on a new way of making flares on the car for do-it-yourselfers...no welding involved, but a lot of elbow grease, and a few inexpensive tools. It involves stretching and shrinking using a mallet, shot dolly, slapper, a dolly, and a shrinking disc. I'm hoping to be able to get the same shape as my custom steel flares without the waiting time (those on my waiting list know what I'm talking about). If it all works out, I'll be putting together a kit with tools and instructions. I won't know anymore until I get a friend's 914 in for experimenting. Hopefully in the next month or so.

For an idea of what I'm talking about look at the album "drastic shrinking" at the bottom of the page at this link:

It actually shows a lot more shrinking than what I plan to do, but it is the same concept. For flares you want the stretching so you would only be shrinking the high spots made by the mallet. Part of the smoothing process.
