OK here is what I did . sanded primed and fit the flare.
marked all the spots for rivets. 3/4" from edge spaced 5 7/8" apart Then used double sticky tape and stuck the fender to the car. marked the layout and position so I could repeat. pulled off flare marked 1 1/2 inches in and made a cut line. Without a single beer I took a deep breath and fired up my Hitachi jig saw with extra fine blade 30 seconds later I had a big ass hole where the fender was. Attached image(s)

Hey Joe, that duct tape is hundred mile an hour tape to boat racers, but that just for holding busted pieces of deck on or cowling so it doesn't fly off. I don't thiink it's meant for holding tires on hubs wheels are made for that. Sorry about stating the obviuous. I take it something that worked in your head didn't work on the car. I hate that when it happens cause what's on the car is almost always right no matter how much you massage it with your mind.
I got confidence in ya. You'll get it worked out. Dave |
