Guess I wont sell the 14... Ill just be patient and be ready to drop some $$$ on some baller wheels to fill out those flares

If you don't mind me asking, what material are you using to construct the flares with? It looks like you are putting a layer of bondo on top of something but is it like foam that you sculpt the form with?

 

[duststang]

wow lots of work cant wait to see the finished product

 

[stkjock]

The flare material will be offered in Carbon fiber, and fiberglass.

The front flares are 1.5in wide per side and the rears are about 2.5in wider per side.

345s? Pshhhhhhh I should easily be able to fit 14in wide wheels

Yes sir, just interested in the general process of how these things get done.

 

[GallopingFord]

Well, I think they start the process with a car that has a functioning engine.... sorry you don't qualify.

I'm just trying to figure out the process so you can put flares on that minivan you were telling me about.

 

[GallopingFord]

The one with the captain seat second row and bench seat in the back to make more little Cams in? lol

 

[GallopingFord]

On a more serious note - I'd like to know if they will attach to the front bumper... just like the rocket bunny kit.

 

[irishpwr46]

i want this so bad. im just afraid i wont be able to fit through my drive way after. i may have to dry fit a kit

 

[DRock]

So did you use foam blocks and lay down shaping foam over them? Then go back and bondo over them to get a smooth finish? I assume thats your method and youre making plugs and molds off of them


edit...

Whats the target price point on these for the consumer?

It's foam blocks them some foam type material to fill the holes and smooth everything out. Yes molds will be made off these. This is very early in the process. They have been shades down and look almost complete at this point. Fender cutting pics tomorrow once my internet works better

[o2sys]

Will there be a template on how much to cut from the original body panels?

 

[GallopingFord]

I would assume. Hopefully he posts the fender cutting tonight so we can see.
