John Kelly can provide the tech details or you can wait for the video. Here are a few: The wheel opening form is 3/8"square stock. The piece above the rocker is 1/2"X1/4" flat bar. Sheet metal will be formed and welded on.
Wheels are Porsche 18" x 11" Techno hollow spoke, a 996 option. They are mounted with 3" spacers. Fronts will be 8" wide and a smaller (pounded) flare. Attached image(s) |

Michael, One of the design goals is to make the flares look part of the overall design, not an afterthought (no disrespect to a competition prepped cars). Most of the new Porsches house wide 8", 9", 10", and wider wheels. This "flare" accomplishes that while adding shape to a fairly flat sided car. |
