And while this car will not leave my possesion, my parts car. (The hidden orange sedan) is now promoted to the "nice one" so this car is for the most part a free for all.

The more I think about it, the more they bother me. Im going to tach some patches in tomaro, and see if I can work something different/smaller/more shapely into the flares.

We need you to slow down and contemplate your actions. You're getting into some awkward and dangerous territory... http://community.ratsun.net/topic/43042 ... -widebody/

...just sayin.


Honestly, if it were mine, I'd probably just slather them back up with bondo and smooth them out like stock. Cover them in paint like the last guy did and try to forget it's there.

I would rather cutt it in half and make it into 2 rusty couches than to donk it.
Started making some patches, so I can get away with smaller flares, if I have enough time.

So, spent what little money I had to slap this car together to drive out and get these.
Image
They were off a car I had, but I gave em to a guy, he reluctantly gave them back, but they still have some pinn holey stuff.
Got inside the car the weld the lower rocker/arch brace in, it shifted a bit but idc, ill hammer the bottom corner into position
Now I want to try and patch these arches.
But I also gotta get some $ flow.
Image
I couldnt replace as much as I should. Couldnt get to alot of it cause the quarter. Ill have to make rockers eventualy.
