Positioning Turbo flares for RSR look
I'm gettin' ready to butt weld on steel turbo flares, but am stressed out on getting them in the right location. Does anybody have any measurements? Obviously the torsion hole has to line-up, but that still leaves a lot of possibility to screw it up.
 Any advice would be very much appreciated.

I have welded on a few sets of fenders..none turbo look, all were Sc to flat fender cars. But the deal has to be the same .If you line up the new part to the old as best you can.... Look at the tail LT geometry ( I do not know how much of the fender you have) . Also measure depth to inner fender well, try to get that as close as possible..........not a purrfect world as the P. cars came off the line body wise not so perfect.....
In the end will your bumper line up ? Torsion bar hole good ? depth to inner well close on both sides? Buzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz it.

Right now the car is a 76 912E, so it has the small lip finders. The rear bumper is FG, so I don't want to rely on that too much.
Also, it's up on a rotisserie, so there's no wheel to line it up with. I might put on the control arms and a wheel on each side with a jack underneath. Guess I'm just chicken. But, better to measure twice and cut once.
