Photos of Dansk flare install

Does anyone have any photos of them installing dansk fender flares to the front fenders? every single old head and his mom documents the rear but i cant find any reference material for the front. Im working on my install and im having a hard time getting things lined up.

Not sure this will help exactly, but your question reminded me of stumbling across this video - what flares are you installing, exactly? Turbo?

Looks like an overlap job.

Hope this helps.

I don't know how to post a link but this is a really well done video on how to install the dansk flare. this is the rear but same tech applies to front
I found another video that showed a diy'er butt weld up his flares with a really cleaver technique I think it was restoration 101 the car was red
I can not believe that the shop in the above video over lapped the weld. they did not use any kind of rust preventative in my opinion this is just not the way to do it. more filler and seam glue just causes stress risers and I think eventually cracks
all the repairs and panels I had done were all but welded and you can not tell where it was done

If you are going to TIG weld it like that video, all I can say is ... bring your A-game.

I think this is more diy'er and seams to work out well

Hire a pro to tig weld them. Grinding cold, brittle, hard welds is no fun and you’ll have less chance of crack age down the road and ideally little to no filler.

lap welded flares just lets everyone know the body guy doesn’t know what they are doing.
