only asking because a fully custom body can be a hell of a lot of work, and carbon fiber requires heat and pressure to cure from what I've read.

if you're riveting pre-made flares to the fenders, then that's a piece of cake.

no, not whole body. not nesscary, not enough time(I think). I'd like to do the same front and rear(rivit and rivit or molded and molded)

if I go with 12 in rear flares it wil probably be molded 13 inch will be rivits.

doesn't sound like function is the priority here, I think he has an idea of what he wants it to look like and ........

Best of luck with the endeavor ...

A different function... lasting me a lifetime, durability.

because recently it seems alot of new projects seem to have an intrest in the ctr+ducktail combo so i'm going to go with what everyone else doesn't
