Hi, my flares showed up too a last week at my friends place in Oregon, now all I have to do is pick them up somehow, might be a while. Thanks very much Mark for helping me out with this. I can't wait to get them welded on and the car painted again. Cheers

Thanks for checking in Jamie. Sorry you can't lay your hands on them right away. Make sure your friend keeps them in a dry place (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)

Now that we have our flares - what wheels do you plan on using?? I am reading that I can use 9" front wheels but my tape measure says otherwise (it says 8" tops since 6" rubs now.)

I am reading that I can use 9" front wheels but my tape measure says otherwise (it says 8" tops since 6" rubs now.) Steve I am going for the harsh wide ride of these reproductions. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/18-8-10-Por...85676QQtcZphoto I suspect I will end up doing a bit of a rear fender stretch to get the rear meats on as the offset is so outside the centerline. Technically I would need a 3" spacer with these, but I'm half way done making new rear housings to house 928 hubs and axle stubs to move the flanges outward the extra inches to avoid torque on the bearings. These 928 bearings are freaking huge! These housings will be fit onto 914 swing arms. It will accept 944 turbo drums and will use the intergal parking brake assembly. This is all going in my 327 SBC rig. Fortunately I have more time than common sense. I just wish I had some heat out in my tin building! (I'm waiting for the county to permit my new INSULATED shop) I'm finding making all the bits and peaces a blast; thats part of this old car thing anyway. I'll eventually post my pics of this process. No hijack intended. I chose these wheels as the price seemed reasonable and I like their look though I would have gone 17" if I could have found them. |

Is it a good or a bad idea to "pre-roll" the fender edges on the flares before installing them? I also remember Brad mentioning (back before the 'event') that there were some tricks to maximize tire clearance during the installation.

You can utilize the rolling baseball bat method (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Just ran across this old thread and wanted to know how you guys did with your installations?
Anyone got pix of their completed project(s)? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |
