When you stretch the car as you've done the donor section you added from the quarter skin is cut to be longer than the actual cutout in the quarter panel in the car so it bubbles. Is that right?

Steve Lenning and John(Better grow a mullet) were the creators of this idea for me. I morphed their designs to fit my goal of not having to make any pie cuts in the fender...I was worried that I would F'up the natural curves of the fender if I had to seam it back together. I only cut the fender at the center body lines while mocking it up and saw that I could get the fender very close without the pie cuts. It did result in the rear tail being about 1" wider than stock and it did kick out the bottom of the fender behind the tire about 1 1/2"". However, I did widen my rear track width to match the front (74 5/8") so the rear end being a little wider actually helps to lessen the tire sticking out and I liked the look and felt it would work with the changes to the rear bumper area and the spoiler, so I committed. The pics here don't show it very well because I cut the rear of the fender off, it will go back on soon. I didn't do that on the drivers side (working on now). I will post pics soon.
