This may be a better shot.

From the right looking from the inside, the grey is the edge of the fender, the dark area is new f/g, the light area is the sanded f/g and the red is the metal of the car fender.

I've busy block sanding, but I've almost got the front end done. I had to do more work to the bumper/spoiler than I thought. Here is the latest...

Thought you'd NEVER ask. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

I had one that was cracked and I JB Weld'd it back together, but I dropped and and it broke like glass.
So....

I made a mold and made an knock-off. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Sure I need 2. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif) Been tryn to figure out what to do with the holes in the front fenders. How much? If i send you some carbon fiber ya want to try doing the outside layer in that? Then I could clear coat it and have the ricer look (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) I would like to get 2 though if you make extras and I can get carbon fiber if you want.

I've created a monster! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

CF may be a little tough because the mold isn't perfect.
I'm sticking with FG for now.

I've only made the one so let me spit out a few more before I start going into mass production.

I guess I'll need to find a factory in China or India to help me out.

T.C.,
I just popped it out of the mold three days ago. I need to work out the details. But I'm thinking you'd use the original hardware and be able to mount them like the stock ones. That way a you could change them out for a DE real easy.

OK boys and girls,
Lets more to the back of the car and start the process on the rear flares. Now don't fall asleep, this will take awhile.

The rear end is a little different from the front because the rear fenders are still steel. Therefore the plan is to 'glass the flares to the steel, make a mold of the entire quarterpanel including the targa bar/sail section. Than make a new complete f/g q-panel. No problem! Should be done around this time next year. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Here is a real pretty q-panel that has had the lip rolled under. I have about 1/8" between the fender and my tire.

Strange looking pattern on the paint in the above pic. Must be the light picking up the dust on the car.

Next I mock up the flare. Not a great fit but now big deal.
