So even though I had this rendering done and already put the kibosh on the idea, I thought I'd still share.

I loved how these boxed/squared flares looked on this Mustang.




But then not so much on mine. Renderings do serve a purpose.

I could see it working with rounded edges that flowed better with the body lines but still being black with a rivet look.

Oh man that is so awesome!

Yep, back to the OG rendering with the rounded. Just for those who can't remember what that looked like... like me.

You should probably get a fender flare designer to help design you a set.
He would probably know where to get them made also.

Well it's funny because I engaged Brett about a year ago to do just the flare project and look where we are now.

He is still Plan A to do the flares but I might take the car home dirt track style for a while and then bring it back to him for the flare work later. He really is brilliant with fiberglass, among other things.

Hey Tim

Dave asked me to put more random stuff on his thread, but since this is car related, I may have to find pictures of kittens.

Jake had the arms milled. He now builds them out of DOM. For the most part they are the same location as the C5 as to retain the same Akerman. They are moved down because the rack is moved down for packaging on that subframe and to keep the bump at zero. They bolt to 2 of the holes on the hub and one on the upright itself.

Blue Mustang Ron (Good Ron) has the same subframe in his AMX, but moved the motor back far enough as to run the rack in the stock Corvette location and is running the uprights as cast from GM. Same concept you are using from your build photos, not sure why you are having bump problems unless the pivot points on your rack are different than on your LCA.
