I'm finishing up on my restoration (71) and I installed steel flares. I dont want to put on FG rocker panels but I know that is gonna be the easist way. I don't usually take that route.

So..., I'm sure that to fabricate the flared ends is gonna be labor intensive with the cut ,weld, english wheel work and all that crap.

I'm taking recommendations from the club... what do you guys think? I have looked for steel flared rockers and can't find a thing. I know that even if I could find some I would need to cut and weld to adjust for my flare install.

Anyone have a solution or been there?

TIA,

KP
