Yes, The License Plate is photo chopped out...... Just in case you were thinking that. The flares however, are real. I've had a couple of people ask how we did the flares so here it is.

First of let me say if it weren't for my Dad (Bruce Plumley) I would never of had the patients to carry this out. He is far better at body work than I, He also came up with the basic shape, did most of the flare building, plus did all the finishing. He drives me nuts with perfection..... It's a good thing I have him!

Ok I don't have enough pictures to show step by step so I'll have to try and explain. First a cardboard shape was cut to the shape we wanted then taped to the car. Second a line was marked on the car where the new cardboard flare met the body. A pneumatic metal cutter was used to cut away the existing flare  up to the marked line and I cut the inner fender well lower on the inside so that it could be bent out to meet the outer fender, which is now further up. The inner fender well was slit into fingers and pulled up the body and all welded back together plus welded to the body. Here is a picture of how much was cut off the the body

Once the inner well and the fender had been welded back together the cardboard fender was stuck on and a layer of Fiber Glass was added. This was done over and over until the shape was perfect. Here is a pic looking out from inside the fender during the Fiber Glassing. If you open the image and look close you can see the slits in the inner well where it was pulled into place.

From here out it was just a matter of filling imperfections and work on a desired shape for the spats. .75 inch Foam board was used to flare the spat because it's really light. Then Fiber Glass Matt was added to the top. Their was about 2 weeks of finishing to be done. Here is a pic of the spat and flare during finishing.

That about covers it, here are a few pictures of the finished flares.
