If your pulling the METAL on the fenders out 2" then why do you have the god awful flares on there? My "info" comes from the pictures you posted of a stock body celica with fender flares taped on... Or are these flares just a mold for fiberglass?Again in which case its not a real "widebody.
THIS is how a real widebody is built: ![]() Notice the lack of masking tape and fiberglass. |

Maybe in the 1970's! ![]() No seriously it's a good attempt but in this day and age and I think when you've finished, make a mould of it and then make a proper FRP pull as a finsh products. If you have your prototype bonded to the actual panel which fallows the joints it's even better cos it means you can remove parts like an entire wing, make a mould and the pulls will be an entire wide wing which is a bolt off and replace kit. Using rivets and steel strips to make a subframe then sheet metal on top is like building a tank. |
