Flares revisited.

Ive gotten back to hacking up this classic automobile. Totally going to rice it out. After these flares are done, im thinking roof spoiler, trunk triple decker spoiler, and wings coming out of the doors, and lots of neon lighting.


Ive temporarily riveted one of the rear fenders on. Im kinda dissappointed with the fit as not all of the body lines are correct, and it was fiberglassed too thick in the rear, so I had to cut into the trunk. Also where it tapers off in the rear is not the correct boy shape at all. Luckily I have time and patience so it will look nice when done. I have about 8 rivets holding it on. I will drill a bunch more holes for future rivets. Drill these ones out then apply the epoxy resin. Reinstall the flare and put in lots of rivets. Im using a wide head rivet that i am going to try and countersink into the fender a bit.



Heres the shark looking thing. Its been welded to the inner fender and bent to shape to match the fiberglass fender flare. These tabs will be pushed out more to mate with the flare. I will epoxy them to the flare, then cover the surface with fiberglass for a clean, sealed look.
