Nope. It's nut unreasonable either (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) You should figure on paying $50.00 + per hour for someone competent. I've never done a set but I could see it taking up to 2 days. Do the flares have a 90 deg. flange stamped in them to match up to the body,or do they just run into it at a 90?

Beach boys racing quoted me $1600.00 for all four.
$300.00 a piece is a good deal.

I need to get my car done to.
I'm doing the front and the rear with the AA flairs.

Maybe we can get a group rate??

there goes an 80 hour paycheck.... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif)

ill call him and have it set up....

not your typical GT flares...these are hand rolled metal quarters that someone paid big money to have done....just to have them cut off and run huge FG flares....


alot of money just to run 8's and 225's (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/screwy.gif)

but i like it (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)

That will warp the shit out of the panel.

Use a TIG or MIG like this:

Hehe, I tried welding sheet metal with a torch once.. it's what made me go buy a mig. I know there are people who can gas weld sheet metal, and supposedly it's the best way.. but I can't do it. Mig doesn't have to be sloppy and ugly. I've gotten pretty good at it, and with minimal touch up it can be just fine. And it's soooooo much faster! For $600 you can buy a mig...
