This town ain't big enough for the both of us

It looks like that would stick out further than a stock flare? Excited to see this continue. Sticks out 3" which is the same amount as the fiberglass flares on my other van. They look bigger because they also drop down 2" while the fiberglass flares come straight out. They will be a lot bigger.....going for the look of the flares on Metalstorn or Invasion vans. | | | Re: My 72 Dodge Chop Project | Joined: Jul 2009 Posts: 6,258 Likes: 164 Master Metal Sculptor | | OP Master Metal Sculptor Joined: Jul 2009 Posts: 6,258 Likes: 164 | Beefed up the framing today with 1/2" bar. I then test fitted a piece of the flare. Need to fabricate the ground effect and start them as the flares will tie into them. ![[Linked Image]](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49853129257_9d4c99572a_k.jpg) IMG-5124 by Lee Hatfield, on Flickr ![[Linked Image]](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49852294738_7e552874b7_k.jpg) IMG-5132 by Lee Hatfield, on Flickr | | | Re: My 72 Dodge Chop Project | Joined: Jul 2009 Posts: 6,258 Likes: 164 Master Metal Sculptor | | OP Master Metal Sculptor Joined: Jul 2009 Posts: 6,258 Likes: 164 | The look I am going for as for the flares and ground effects ![[Linked Image]](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49341265318_0ee7019c55_c.jpg) Invasion build 9 by Lee Hatfield, on Flickr | | | Re: My 72 Dodge Chop Project | Joined: Jan 2014 Posts: 2,290 Likes: 137 veteran | | veteran Joined: Jan 2014 Posts: 2,290 Likes: 137 | I freaking LOVE this style of flares. You are rocking this build man. Phenomenal job. | | | Re: My 72 Dodge Chop Project | Joined: Jul 2009 Posts: 6,258 Likes: 164 Master Metal Sculptor | | OP Master Metal Sculptor Joined: Jul 2009 Posts: 6,258 Likes: 164 | OK...cut, fit and welded in two panels on the flare.....I can start to get a sense of how it will look. I have to frame the ground effect in next before I finish the flare as the flare will mold into the ground effect. Slowing coming together.....at this rate I should have it done by 2027!!!! ![[Linked Image]](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49857052771_e8f483d985_k.jpg) IMG-5146 by Lee Hatfield, on Flickr ![[Linked Image]](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49857053521_97ccebf8a5_k.jpg) IMG-5147 by Lee Hatfield, on Flickr ![[Linked Image]](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49857354977_a886f03056_k.jpg) IMG-5160 by Lee Hatfield, on Flickr | | | Re: My 72 Dodge Chop Project | Joined: Jan 2014 Posts: 2,290 Likes: 137 veteran | | veteran Joined: Jan 2014 Posts: 2,290 Likes: 137 | | | | Re: My 72 Dodge Chop Project | Joined: Aug 2015 Posts: 94 journeyman |  journeyman Joined: Aug 2015 Posts: 94 | Great progress on the Van, you make it look as if the chop is a Saturday morning job, I am allready curious how fast the fenders will be done. | | | Re: My 72 Dodge Chop Project | Joined: Oct 2018 Posts: 75 Likes: 2 journeyman | | journeyman Joined: Oct 2018 Posts: 75 Likes: 2 | Hey Lee, what size rod are you using for the flares? | | |
