Looking good. Fiberglass work is one thing I just don't think I want to tackle.

Lookin' great Pat! :cheers: At first glance I thought surely he's not working outside. Thought that was snow all over the car then I remembered where all the dust comes from. :D That's going to be an awesome car. :cool:

Is that the best you can do? :lol: Flares on a sports car? Who in thier right mind put flares on a sports car? Next thing you know you will be lowering the car and go road racing. :D :D :D By the way when do you have time to work on your car when mine is all apart? :jester

Re: rear flares almost finished (groovyjay)
looking good :)
I need flares on mine too and just getting them here is a PITA. Groovy, there's a company in Germany that sells flares, so maybe if you like them you could get them there cheaper. The company is called vondracek. http://www.otp-vondracek.de/Corvette.html
I don't want their flares tho, they are butt ugly IMO. I never really liked the mudflap designs but theirs are just too awkward, they don't blend in, they look too much like a last minute addition...but as I said, maybe it can help you out
As for shipping them from the US, shipping 4 flares becomes a costly operation. I've got matte and resin in huge quantities so I will take a shot at making my own first.

Re: rear flares almost finished (Twin_Turbo)
Thanks TT, I've been to their ( :rolleyes: ) site before, they seem to have lot of last minute "add-ons" there :lol: I'll be going to the US in January to pick up lots of parts I may need in the future and I might get set of flairs while there. :cheers:

Good job, but you messed up that awesome looking blue paint.
The flares look good - not too much, but enough to notice.
