Thanks, Steve. The flares do fit pretty well...which is great news because the bumpers are going to take a mountain of work to make right.
I'm with you though. I think once it's all done, it'll look pretty great.

I don't think you're going to need to inch up on your cut line like you are thinking. Once you get the flare positioned in it's permanent position, mark it, take the flare off, and cut.
The downside to fiberglass versus steel is that I was able to butt weld the fenders where you will have a bit of a steel/panel bond/fiberglass sandwich. You'll really want to make sure that it's sealed so you don't have any rust issues down the road. Also curious how much work the bodywork will be for it to look smooth, it was a doozie even with a pretty great weld.

I know you already know this, but the spacers are in (and on), the arches are chopped, and the car is marked up like a hog gone to the butcher.
The blending I'm a little leery of. But I got the roof decently smoothed in my first attempt....and if I bork it up, I'll just get to paint the car again in a year or two.
Update in progress. Likely a double, since I have 10+ pictures to share.
