Great work, however I am hoping maybe you can post a picture or two of the dirty work. You know the bondo and the blocking to get such an awesome curve to the fenders, esp the rears!!!

wish I had more pics but none.. But I did block the whole thing never used a DA except nocking things down or just doing a quick once over ..
I start blocking everthing with 180 then bring it down to 320 then wet sand it at 400 then squirt it. of course guide coats in between and a good amount of buildable sandable but most got sanded off .. a fun process none the less and have shot a few cars since this was done with great results..

Real neat work Ben. Thanks for that inspiration. Know any shops in the midwest who can do some rear flares for me this winter?

That sounds great. I've got the front turbo fenders and a novice like me can bolt on parts, but real skill is needed to weld those flares right. Just say when and I'll drive her up.
