Ron, where is that picture of the flares being made in steel in the factory that you have? I can't find anything like that.

I'm wondering why they would bother to make them out of steel for just a race car? Why not fiberglass and either rivet them on or bond them on.

I think the steel flares must be made on an English roller and in doing that all you can do is come close to something, and seems likely that is fiberglass that maybe was lifted as a mold from an original car?

Race cars first off tend not to be the most cosmetically correct production cars converted over.

There is usually something wrong with the car that the car is resigned to the use as a race car to begin with.

I wouldn't even presume that two of the Gp4 cars are exactly alike to begin with and you guys are trying to make something cosmetically perfect.

Tall order. I've got to wonder exactly how much body filler Halls Super Panteras have in the flares? Smiler

Again...best of luck to all.
