Convette Posted January 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 (edited) So finally got back last night and despite the blazing 20 degree weather outside I got a little done... Big thanks to Derek for the flatty fenders, huge help. This is where its going, still need to chop the bottoms off and build the bottom part, but the flattys are cut and tacked for now. I'm taking this from the f40 pic that was posted before.. They are just sitting in there for the visual.http://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w239/johnboy9788/IMAG1198.jpghttp://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w239/johnboy9788/IMAG1197.jpg Not sure yet on the spacing or number yet, I don't want it too 80's but a few more prolly wont hurt.

Komeuppance Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 Already looks good. Looks like a 24oz spacer is just right... lol... Back in the day I wanted to do a JGTC style flare similar to this, but that never got off the ground. -Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

polarisman14 Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 Yeah the Vislas and Weimaraners have docked tails so they don't hurt themselves...Done for aesthetics/AKC and functionality if you use them as hunting dogs. These look amazing man. Can't wait to see the final outcome...Keep up the good work. I can't wait to take my welding course so I can do some of this stuff myself!

Blue Posted January 7, 2013 Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 I love this and would be interested in a set down the road when I have another fatty.I was also wondering... could we make a flatty wider while keeping the flatty lines...?
