I like the way this one looks.

[Ron S]

Thanks Shaun,thats exactly what I was looking for,but couldn't seem to find.Mine will be alittle bigger and more obnoxious then that,but with the width and exaggerated nature of the whole car,I think it will be a good fit.Do you have anymore shots of that car,it looks pretty good from that shot.Thanks again.Ron

That's the Unique performance shelby car.

[Ron S]

Thanks Tony,beautiful car,mine looks about a foot wider and 3 inches lower then that though.The width on the factory C5 subframe is crazy wide.Ron

Ok,figured how I'm doing the exhaust,dummying up the flares I built,I'm not really sure I'm in love with them either,I'm finding its kind of hard to cover up 5 inches of tire.Truefully,what do you think?You won't hurt my feelings,I hate to back to the drawing board,but I will if they don't grow on me.Ron

I like em. It has a late 80's Porsche feel to it with the fastback roof lines. Maybe you could make a side brake scoop like the blue car pictured above molded into the fender.

[Restomod]

The flairs do have the 80's Porsche Ruf look about them. They will be good.....

[cheapta]

I like it. I've actually considered a similar apraoch to a 65 Nova I'm building. Go for it-they look great!

Just stumbled across this car on the Forgeline site. I thought maybe it would help you out with the flares. http://www.forgeline.com/customer_ga...ew.php?cvk=222

Those flares look mean.

[Z06killinSBF]

I'm lovin' the flares. I agree with stated above too. Looking hot!!

[cantvalve16]

First of all... lovin' what you are doing with that car. Love the flares. My first thought when I saw them was like the other guys... Porshe widebody.

Now let me preface my next statement by saying that you are light years ahead of me in the fab department and you could button that thing up now and we would all aplaud. That being said, I think it would look cooler if they didn't jet out from the body so... all of the sudden. Maybe a little gentler transition from the quarter into the flare. Like where the 1/4 and the flare meet. And pull the bottoms of the flares (toward the rocker) a little tighter in to show a little bit of tire toward the bottom.

After saying that, I feel like such a jerk. I have done none of what you have and here I am armchair quarterbacking you into the shop. Gotta say, though, your car has motivated me to think a bit outside the accepted norm. I am traditionally a Ford guy, but you have gotten me outside the generally accepted lines of hot rodding and enjoying what we build. Thank you for that.

first thing I thought was Porsche 911 rear.....guess I am not alone in that.

It will look very extreme....
and that is cool !

Feedback is what I'm looking for, thanks.The flare in the pic is just hanging there and does curve in more at the bottom front and back{I just didn't want to tack too tight}This is probably revision 17,I even tried bulging the whole quarter panel,but it is just too much tire to have to cover up.The quarter is now bulged about 2.5" with a 3" flare.I thought I was the only one that saw the 911 widebody{not that there is anything wrong with that,I love those cars}.Thanks for the feedback.Ron

with your fab talents, why not just widen the whole body? put a X-inch strip the whole way down the car to make it cover? there was a falcon in a mag recently done like that, thats why i thought of it.

Hmm.... that is a good idea..

Another thing (if you haven't done it already) is to slice open the top of the quarters/fenders and add some material there. That way it would be a little sleeker. That is if you haven't already did this. Just let me get a couple cups of coffee in me and I'll start rattling off some more ideas. I LOVE the out side of the box. Too bad I also drive a 66 Mustang. Ohh well....

Here is a company that did exactly that,scroll down http://www.totalcontrolproducts.com/...fications.html in my opinion looks great.But they did not have the extreme tire coverage issues I have to deal with.I did try putting a quarter panel over the existing an bulging it back,and it just looked stupid.The front fenders however are getting that treatment along with the flares.We'll see,maybee I'll push it outside and see how I like it.Ron
