Searching the archives finds a lot of people asking WTB... searching interwebs finds lots of options that might work for $275 or more.
I need a set of flares that have the same basic radius as an E30 rear wheel well to give me about 2" of additional width that are as close to free as possible... the kind with divots that pop rivet are fine. I figured they would be easy to source for under $50... just some plastic, right? That is apparently not the case inless you are doing a Jeep or a pickup.
Next: I need to roll the bodywork on the front fenders - have used a baseball bat in the past but had poor results making more creases and dents than I'd like. Any good advice on how to make a smooth stretch instead? I have a lot of 1.75" steel tubing and was thinking I could make some kind roller that bolts to the hub...
Works like a dream and worth every penny if you figure the cost over years of projects. Some clubs buy them and share/rent them so if you're on a budget just try to borrow one.
I'm sure an improved version could be imagineered but you'd really need the original on hand for comparison. Considering my tires were eating themselves on mild corners and I had an event to prep for buying rather than building was a no brainer. Its since been used on 6 other cars with a 7th lined up-so whether you buy or build you could easily recoup some cost by renting it out.
