QUOTE(J P Stein @ Oct 19 2003, 12:46 PM) Very nice ! I luv them rear flares. Is that the car with the infamous Velious oil tank?... did you get it to work? Whatcha' got for a muffler there?......I'm still looking for a lighter one. Same car - no leaks from the tank now afaik. I think the headers are B&B. Don't know who assembled the tailpipe & muffler ass'y. Flowmaster muffler I think. |

QUOTE(boxstr @ Oct 19 2003, 12:02 PM) The seats look similar to Rengade Hybrids?? What are they. CCLINCREEPERVILLE They are Renegade Hybrids. Unusual to see them without a logo, huh. I think because the owner supplied the fabric (leather) they didn't apply their logo. |

Because of the gas tank... that sub placement is worthless inside the car. I tried it back in 1988 when loud systems where important to me... then I AutoX'd. B |

Chris, Do you use the "cut and weld" or the "hammer and dolley" method to achieve your rear flares?? They look great and I'm planning on the same for my car. Do you have any pics shot during the process??

They look great and I'm planning on the same for my car. Do you have any pics shot during the process?? I remove nearly the entire quarter panel from the car. I reshape it with power equipment as well as hammer and dolly. Then I add a little new metal at the perimeter and fit it back onto the car, where I carefully butt weld it. More hammer and dolly work is required after grinding down the welds inside and out. A lot of work goes into achieving that look. Here's one picture. You can see the wooden form that I attach to the car while I'm shaping and fitting the flare. Attached image(s)

Awesome job, Chris! Nice subtle look for the flares. Hard to tell, just rears, or fronts and rears? Do you do a similar thing for the fronts too?
