Thanks,
That's the look I was going for... when I was finished with them, I stood back and smirked as I stared at the car, because it honestly looked like it could of came that way from the factory. That's the second time I did the fenders on the car. The first time I did them, I didn't do the entire quarter panel, I made the the mistake of just flaring out things around the fender well, and it did not look right at all. So I brought some car show tickets and checked out how some guys had customized thier rides. When I saw that the way some people were flaring thier cars I realized what I did wrong. So I went back and redid the entire quarter panel, which took a good while but it was worth it to me. The hardest part was cutting into the factory sheet metal, since it becomes 2 piecies of sheet metal pressed together at the bottom of the wells. Hacking that up was a pain, and also when I started to get towards the bottom of the door jams, was a bit of a task since I had to figure out how to make the flare flow from the original body of the car. It was more about just being creative and taking time out to get things right. But then again I'm pretty good with body work and it only cost me the supplies needed to do the job like Fiber glass, sheetmetal, and sand paper... maybe 65 bucks all together, but I couldn't imagine what a shop would charge.
