      S10 Fender flare ideas

      Well im needing some input or some ideas of how to achieve the idea I would like. On a 1st gen S10 the body panels are very flat, well Im wanting to add flares in like the old trans am race cars or even the 70 vettes had. Im wanting the look to be very subtle, not a very in your face its the first thing you see type of thing. Problem im having is I cant find any pictures of anyone ever doing something like this on a s10. Well I was down at the local hot rod shop today talking to them and they charge $60 and hour and they have no idea how long it would take to make them or what it would even look like. I was going thru some of their pics and found a 5.0 mustang that looks to have very similar body panels. Do you guys think flares on a S10 that look like the mustangs would look decent and how many hours on a best guess would it take to fab something like that, I guessed 40 hours per fender and their main fab guy was out at that time and they had no real guess, I dont have the cash to spend on that many hours of fab work so a good guess would helpfull.



      This is the best full pic angle i can get of my truck right now, its in about a million pieces so i really cant get anything better, Im lowering it about 3 more inches from whats in the picture and the new tires and rims will stick out past the by about an inch im guessing and thats why im looking into the flares.




      these flares are what i think i would like to aim for
