Hi Folks,
Here is a picture of Zach's car after some more work. Since Jamie's event we added a little more shape to the flares. Since John Walker's and the flare party at Dave's, I cut the rear fender braces and pulled out the lower rear part of the quarter panels. Made a big difference in the overall appearance of the car. Next we will stretch the fronts out about another 1/2" and add some shape to the upper portions of the rear flares. May also make the edge detail more shallow at the fronts and rears of the flares to match the top of the wheel openings. Not sure if we'll cut the front fender braces and pull them out a little too. It really helps to have taken the car out several times to look at it and make design decisions. More later. John www.ghiaspecialties.com Attached image(s) |

Hi M, Thanks! Yes I'm trying to talk Zach into lowering the car a little, but he is reluctant to do it. Flares always look better (my opinion) on a lowered car.
Kevin, I've only added a tiny bit more shape to the upper areas to make the flare look less droopy. Minor changes make big differences at this stage. The main thing I learned while working on Dave's car is how willing everyone was to hammer away. That's most of the battle right there. I also solidified some of my concepts by looking through the eyes of others in such a way as to make the process as user friendly as possible. It help a lot to see guys using the techniques, and getting it so quickly. Not sure when Zach will be able to paint the car. He has a lot on his plate right now. Did you see Dave's avatar?
