Haha yeah but my flares won't be as extreme as those going with a more shuttle approach, the main reason for the flares is the wheel well is rusted out so I have to replace the metal so I figure I'd might as well flare it so I can put some fatter wheels on. Those are cool flares though.

Yes I do.

The rusted rear wheel wells.

Flared the back of the car this past weekend.
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/...psd5e87ec3.jpg
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/...psa0655ff1.jpg

I screwed in a couple sheet metal screws to do all of the adjustment.

Next I screwed in all the sheet metal screws so they would be easier to drill once I put the flares on for good.

Next I spot welded the inner wheel well to the outer sheet metal.

http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/...ps5b2c75cb.jpg

I then started to put the flare on and started grinding the inner down till the flare fit.

Back of the car all assembled. Thinking of removing the carbonfiber bumper and putting the chrome back on.

Next step was to pull the engine and clean up the engine bay.

The radiator support was all bent so I removed that and am going to put new one on. Sometime in the cars life the passenger side front apron had been hit so it is all bent and mangled so I am going to replace this metal along with the radiator support.

You can see the shock tower has a big dent in it as well so that will be replaced at the same time.

I was going for a retro trans am car look and must say I am more than satisfied with how it turned out.
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/...ps1539d8cc.jpg
http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/...psfdcf0e07.jpg

yeah looks good ! Great result for home brewed work. You must have some experience with this stuff though. The rear flares came out especially nice, I wish you had shown a picture of it being bondoed. Maybe I don't have much experience with the stuff but it sure seems like you'd have to feather it out a long ways to cover up the 1/8" thick flare flange.

I think you nailed the look. Good job! :thumbsup:

Thanks! For the most part all my experience has come from working on my car but I am lucky to have the resources that I have which has forsure helped

Thankyou!!!

That really looks great. Nice job indeed! :thumbsup:

Congrats on how it turned out...good lookin coupe there. :thumbsup:

I've had quite a few fastbacks. But some of the coupes being built, especially this are really looking good too! Nice ride!

Nice, I like the look!
Mike

Real eye candy there, looks sharp.

Thanks for all the positive feedback on my coupe!!

huge difference, and now you know whats under it. great work.

Hey how did I miss you getting this much done :headscratch: your coupe is looking really goood.:thumbsup:

Love that Retro B class racer look.:cheers:

Thankyou!!

Lowered some more and put some new/old set of wheels on.
17 x 9's on the front with 4.75" back space and 17 x 9.5's on the rear with 4.75 back space.

Really cool build. The fender flares really set it off, they look great. I like the retro Trans Am Series look too.

Nice, so it was your car posted on the Maier racing FB page the other day.

Stewbear
I just read the whole thread again what front suspension are you running?

Mike

I love this car. You really did a great job with the body work and especially the flares.

Nailed it!!!! the stance is perfect man! this makes me want to get mine done!!! just need to quit spending money on everything else, and focus on my mustang.

Looks Great!

nice looking car with a great stance

perfect looking coupe - love the color.

The control arms are stock Moog arms with a AFCO coilover shock and a hyperco spring. The shock is mounted on the lower control arm where the strut rod mounts and the upper part of the shock mounts on the inside of the shock tower. I also have delirium strut rod bushings and a 1 1/8 front sway bar.

Took the car out to an auto-x a couple weekends ago. Didn't tighten the mount all the way on the camera so its pretty shaky but things were working pretty well.
