After completing more than 90% of my rustoration projects on the chassis, I am about to start the installation of the GT (metal) flares (AA purchase).
A question for those who have already done this...any tips/tricks/watch-outs or any advice on what you would have done differently? Thanks in advance! |

I've done a few sets, some have turned out better than others. Here's an old thread of the last set I installed which turned out really good:
http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...=89850&st=0 Your idea of starting at the ends (bottoms) and working toward the center is what we did. We'd cut a little, weld a little, cut, weld etc. One thing to watch for (among other things) is getting those lower corners tacked in correctly with the entire flare tight against the fender. Otherwise you wind up with a bubble or incorrect fit at the top. By the time I did this set, I had learned that lesson the hard way. |
