I would match the wheel well. that looks kinda goofy.
that looks bad.. def. cut it.
i agree the more i look at it the worse it looks lol. thanks.
None of that is gonna stay on there. You are trying to mold to primer. Not gonna happen. You have to grind it down to metal. I don't see this going good man. You got the first step in your whole project wrong and it is the most important one.
Ever thing that he is simply getting the shape of the wide body started now? If I were him I would be doing the exact same, getting the sahpe done, then taking it off the car to finished shaping and strengthening... Then put it back on to mold in and finish up...

Yah I hope so but from his other thread were he says he gave it many tugs and it did not move, shows me that he intends to leve it like that and he might think it may hold.
why wont it hold? i completely scuffed up the primer. same thing i did with my sideskirts and otherstuff i have done. and like i said i have yanked on the mofo trying to get it off cause i messed something up. it wont move believe me.
It might not move now but it will in time.
then you guys better bitch at big poppa cause if you look at page 10 in his widebody post he didnt either
edit: im not going to argue about it sticking and who did what. i guess we will see if it works. if not i can always redo it

well i just got back from a body shop and asked if fiberglass sticks to paint. their answer was "fiberglass cloth will not stick to paint/primer but the resin will. so as long as you lay down resin first and overlap the cloth with the resin it will work out fine." i hope hes right!
i would get a few good layers of thick glass on there, then drill, and rivot it to the body. rivoting is easy to cover up in a lil body work, and will secure it much better from alot of flex.
keep us posted!
Wood and Cardboard? WTF are you doing chris...do it right!
i still wouldnt trust that........... if i were u i would take it all off and grind down the places where the widebody sticks to baremetal...... youll be much better off. just my advice...

rivoting is a really good idea. forgot i did that on my sideskirts. thanks for the reminder
nick... whats wrong with wood and cardboard? fiberglass sticks awesome to cardboard and the wood makes it so the width is the same on both sides.
you should keep it like that and maybe you'll get a sponsership from xerox.

not sure if that was supposed to be a diss but its not wood and cardboard... its fiberglass. the wood and cardboard is for the shaping. but thanks i guess.
