Last night,I ripped of the rear fiberglass flares to make way for the steel units from the group buy a last month.

Fronts are completely done,now the rears.


The rears are gonna widened about 2" per side,to cover the 10" wide wheels.

As you can see in the pics,I have a few holes to fill,but that's not a big deal,that's why I have a welder. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif)

I haven't posted an update in a while,but I have been working on the rear flares steadily.

Everything is pretty much done.The rockers,and rear valance all line up to their respective edges.

The epoxy primer is laid for the final time.I'll soon be wet sanding it to fully level it out,then everything is ready for the final top coat.

Top coat is RM's Diamont basecoat clearcoat in Signal Orange.

At $450.00 a kit for the paint,that is why I'm taking so long to get it as best as I can before the final topcoat.

It's almost done,but not soon enough for me.

I do have to say guys,that that was a lot of metalwork!

I will not repeat that ever again.It was a huge undertaking and requires a lot of patience to accomplish.

I probably have a 100 hours easily just in the metalwork to the rears.I'd be scared to listen to what a top-rate body shop would quote to install,and widen those rear flares to cover 10''wide wheels (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) .


I will agree that the results look good,but damn that was a lot of 10 hour,Saturdays & Sundays.Finally though,it's almost over and time for some serious beer (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drunk.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drunk.gif)

I'm into the final stretch now.

I put up my $100.00 outdoor paint booth,and painted the rockers,rear valance,and the inside trunk floor.

No bugs or trash in the paint.Color sanding and buffing are gonna be a breeze.

That high end Diamont paint can make anyone look like a hero.

One more nice weekend of rain free sunshine and the quarters will be painted and this chapter will close.

Guys I played hooky from work today to lay the paint on the rear flares of my 6'r.


I rolled her into my make shift booth,and gave a coat of Signal Orange.


Damn you gotta love that Diamont paint.

In 2 weeks I'll color sand and buff it all out.


Look how level the Diamont came out.

WOW (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mueba.gif) .You just helped physic me up to get out and keep pounding on mine. I am glad i choose to paint my car Signal Orange instead of Black again. I plan on keeping the rockers and valances on mine black though.


I wanted to paint mine single stage but my paint guy wouldn't, so I am doing single stage in the trunks and engine bay and 2 stage everywhere else. Lets see a picture of the signal orange grass.

It's just a personal preference... I like waifs. Waifs w/ curves that is. So I'm picky, shoot me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) .

Ron, Great work! Excellent!

Did you have to widen your rear valence to match the flairs or did the flares taper down to the original flared profile at the valence?
