[Dalamar]

TY sir!



The flairs we cut off an aftermarket fender.

[Dalamar]

anyone have any suggestions? - I'm open to advice! kinda winging it.

TY sir!

The flairs we cut off an aftermarket fender.

They look nice.

I did kind of a similar thing, except I left the top of the quarters attached, and detatched the wheelhouses in the middle, then moved the fenders out.

Good looking project!

[Dalamar]

Tried out some Dampifier on the firewall. I like this stuff

[Dalamar]

Ok, so i'm going to have to make a number of patch and extension panels to accomplish what I want to do with the body.
got into mounting the flair off the aftermarket fender, and the lip has a nice swoop in it.
it seems that i'm going to have to learn how to do some metal working.





see how it swoops out on the right?



Just ordered a metal shaping tutorial. Gotta up my skills with curves and working with thin sheet metal.

[CruizinKev]

looks great Jeff! good work!

[Bryce]

Nice work.

[Dalamar]

Made some progress tonight.
After much massaging, we tested the wheel travel.












this is all new to me. I have some ideas on the inner fender, but if anyone has some suggestions, please shoot them my way.
also wondering how to make the rear flair lower profile....we'll see what I can figure out.





very interersted in the Ring Bros rear spoiler so we did a "how will it look" cardboard/spraypaint mach.
I like it






I'm pretty happy with the new wide body line from the back.

[Motown 454]

Its looking great nice work.

[Zachalanche]

I like the combination of part wide body and part fender flare. With just one or the other, sometimes the modification looks too drastic.

Hi Jeff Looks Great. I used an inner wheel well cut off to fill the gap on my mustang but I dont have the wide body like you so I don't know if it would be long enough. [/IMG]

[Dalamar]

Thanks Wayne & Zack

I'm thinking I want to make the rear flair lower profile. thinking i'll have to split it.



aren't self-drilling-self-tapping screws super useful!?

thanks for the picture SS

[Dalamar]

played with the inner wells tonight.















hammered the flanges out so they follow the curve pretty well.
will have to piece between this and the flair once we roll the edge.

[bonecrrusher]

Cool. Are those prefab trailer wheel covers?

[Dalamar]

Yes they are, 16 gauge was the thinnest they had.

[bonecrrusher]

Cool - trailer wheel covers for wheel wells, and wheel barrels for fire walls... gotta love hot rodding! Looks good.

Nice to see you making progress this year. I really like how you extended the entire fender instead of flaring just the wheel area.

Having recently moved to SLC, I look forward to seeing your Mustang on the streets one day. Keep up the great work!

Thanks. and welcome to SLC. I love it here.
and I see in your sig that you're aware of the Miller track. it's so much fun to drive there, you'll love it.


just looked over your build link. NICE CAR!
love the metal hood scoop you have on there, and seeing the progress of your build.
tinted tails go great with your black ride.
looks like the body guys did an outstanding job on the prep and paint.
beautiful car, hope to see you on the road sometime.

[Dalamar]

What do you guys think of this??





STOCK SIZED FLAIR = TOO BIG


BIKINI FLAIR

[JBCO]

Looks good! I like the way to tapered it down all the way to the rear (towards the rear valence) -- I always thought that part on our cars was lacking -- makes larger tires look out of place to an extent.

Nice work fellas
