JoeBrown Posted June 8, 2014 Posted June 8, 2014 hey guys. i was wondering if anyone could tell or better yet show me how to make flares. I'm drawing a blank right now. any one have examples on what they did?
vypurr59 Posted June 8, 2014 Posted June 8, 2014 I would make cuts at the wheelwell, then pull the body out, and fill til I achieved the look I want.
Belugawrx Posted June 8, 2014 Posted June 8, 2014 (edited) Hey Joe I've had good results by glueing flat evergreen strips to the inside of the wells, so that the strips stick out past the body Then mixing up some milliput ( or other two part epoxy putty) and applying to the offset. Sculpt it to the desired flare profile. After the putty dries, you can dremel, file , sand from the inside out, until the evergreen strip just peels off. Leaving just the epoxy. Good luck Edited June 8, 2014 by Belugawrx

JoeBrown Posted June 10, 2014 Author Posted June 10, 2014 (edited) Thnx James Joe ,... why the stress?? What car are you putting flares on?? Foreign low rider or Pro touring or,...? lots of stress. i just moved from buffalo, new york to davenport, florida with my fiancee (first time away from our parents). and yea a datsun 240z. i can't decide what i want to do next. I've hit like a writers block lol. so i moved on to the aoshima rocket bunny frs and I'm kinda digging the wide body and flares. i also wanted to do some wide wheels but everywhere i can find some of the aoshima or fujimi there out of stock or back ordered.
