Hi to all, as you probably know, i am presently crafting my own set of steel GT flares, with the only help of hammer, dollies and the like. About to complete my first side. Remember, i am not in any way a bodyshopper, rather a teaching/graphic designer.
So if i can, you can. With a little help. He also showed me OEM paper templates to dye the metal sheet!!!! Will try to get a hold of them, and pass them on.
See the prototype on this following link:.

I also sent one of my fiberglass flares to a knowledgeable bodyshop, the kinda experienced. He tried to fabricate one with English wheel, etc, he did, but the flare is a 3-pieces one. And welding is required to fit the 3 parts together. Not very convenient but the shape was there. Will post a picture.
Being both not satisfied with the results, he will attemp to mold/press one. As you know, this is a BIG job. Will keep you posted.
If you noticed, more than 1800 people read this topic. Theres interest for sure.
