well didn´t have time to paint over easter, had some trouble with the flares but finally they´re ready
the inside of the new fender got some paint though
to mold the flares on the car first I had to put some tape on the fender.
then some mold release wax on the tape.
tape the flares to the fender in the position wanted.
another view.
all the flares in place
then put polyester resin and E-Glass fibers. I paint a bit of resin on both the fender and the flare, then take littl pieces of E-glass fibers (9cm x 20cm) wet the pieces and shove the them in
and after a bit of cutting this is the finished product then jsut drill holes in the flange and screw it to the body.
Voila!
they still need a little work I´ll keep you guys posted

don´t remember the color code at the moment (4E8 I think) but it´s the orginal color.
the parnellies are pretty banged up after the frame donor car went up in flames, so no I won´t be using them.
I want to but 39.5 irocs on 15" wide 15" wheels but I think I´ll let my 38" mudders I have in the garage do for the summer
and as usuall the piccies!
the morning after
shiny shiny
Flares.
topfilled flares, ready to go
to quote my good friend Mr. McDonalds: "I´m loving it!"
