C3 Fender Flares?
Forum: https://picasaweb.google.com/torger.ekeland/Flares#
This site no longer exists, it was pages of very cool custom Vettes w/flared Fenders.
Does anyone know where it went?
Is there something else I can look at?
TIA

The site I was looking for has several pages of race Vetts and custom cars all w/Flares.
You get to see them on the car w/wheels.
Very clean aeros on some.
I have seen the catalogs.
Not what I am looking for.
Thanks

My '72 was an old show car......from decades ago, and grew various flares from previous owners, along with the '68 Olds tail lights....
they are about as wide as later sharks and have the mudflap style.....
255/275/50/17 rubber with stock wheel center line.....
see pix below....

I liked the article on the DSE C3 Vette when they talked about how no two fenders/body are the same.
I can see a lot of time on making things look just OK.
Getting everything really right, gaps, everything even, could take up a whole lot of hours!

Thank you: That was just what I was looking for.

Exactly! IMCO the best way to get the fit right is decide on your wheel and tire combination, put them on the car, set the ride height, fit the flares to cover the tires to your taste. You're doing body work any way. Some people like the tucked look, others like the wheel wells filled to the edge. On top of that right height plays into the look also.
