Better fit now. I sanded the glass thinner so it will conform to the shape of the car.

Next I'll use some sheet metal screws to hold it in place and I'll start grinding/sanding it expose the metal. This will allow for a solid bond of the glass.

I could have made a mold of only the sheetmetal that was not cut out. Than I would 'glass the flare to it. But this way I will have a entire q-panel mold when I'm done.

Stay tuned, boys and girls

Your friend,
Paul

Ok, its been about a month, four hurricanes and a screwed up 'puter. But I didn't stop working in the garage. I glassed the flare to the metal. (I guess I didn't take any pics of the fender before I installed the flare, sorry) This is the first ROUGH layer of bondo. 90% of this gets sanded off.

I've got 1/2" spacers on the rear and about 1/4" between the fender and the tire.
