Does anyone have a contact for a shop that can install steel flares in the So Cal area?
Thank you

Whoever you choose be certain to specify that you want them butt welded.

Be patient. There are many shops in southern CA that can do this job and I am sure other members will reply. Please make sure you select a shop that has done this before so they are correctly located and butt welded. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Have them follow this if possible, also have the flared rocker for correct placement. Best, MarkAttached Image

And I forgot, if your going to use your steel rockers. Get Ben's flared steel rocker ends to have welded on (mb911). Best, Mark

Venice Beach Auto Body aka Beach Boys Racing did mine over 10 years ago. Bob Farnham the owner has retired, so I don’t know if they still do them.
