What do you think the best plan of attack is for finishing up installing flares on my 330.
You can see the slits I cut when I originally had the plastic flares installed. I’ll cut the flair back even with the end of the slits, weld those closed, extend the panel in the blue square and weld the flare on.
I think I’m going to continue cutting out the panel in the green striped area. This will make square panels/cuts on the front, back and top. I’m thinking it’ll be easier to weld then trying to fit a sliver between the flare in the existing body.
Then weld the new panel to the body and top of the flare.
I don’t want the sharp edge on the flare, so I’ll weld a small rod 1/8-1/4” on the outside/bottom to give it some rigidity and soften it.
This is my first big job doing something like this.
Any ideas on how to tackle it better?
Edit. I’ve got about 2 inches between the outside edge of the tire and the bottom of the flare. I’ve got a stiff suspension with poly bushings and 700 pound springs, so I’m hoping it doesn’t rub on the bottom of the flare. Thinking about it, I may tack weld the flare on then take it for a drive and see if I hear it rub.
