GT metal flares- how to install? Options

[rfuerst911sc]

Well I signed up for the group buy of GT metal flares so now I want to know how to install these. I have a mig welder and am a fair welder so my intention is to install these myself. Once you cut the fenders ( hopefully correctly ) you line the flares up and tack them in place right? Once tacked do you run a continous bead or do you do spaced welds? Once tacked/welded then you grind the welds flush? And then do your skim coats of bondo to finish? Any online forum how to's on this? I know that the least amount of heat is good to keep warping to a minimum but any tips are appreciated. Thanks (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

For you guys looking for a price, I obviously can't answer for Perry but my guess being in this line of werk would be around 40-50 hours to fully weld and metal finish the flares correctly. Figure on a MINIMUM hourly rate of $50.00 and depending on the region and shops rep. as much as $100.00 per hour. I personally wouldn't do it for less then $1500.00 fitted,welded,metal finished. BTW nice job Perry (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif) I had close to 40 hours in these 2 front flares alone, but obviously was quite a different process

Thanks Scotty, thats close enough. I was just trying to figure out if it was $100, $1000, or $10,000.

Then they have to be painted...
