The flares are to small on the early Mustangs so Brian is going to make a little larger flare.

The first thing is to mark where he is going to make his cut and start cutting.

He left it attached at the bottom and brought it out 1 1/4" at the top.

Next he made a pattern out of poster board and taped it on.

Next he transferred the pattern to metal and had to make it in sections to get the shape he wanted and started tacking in place

He will keep added sections until it is all filled in

Sprayed a little epoxy to keep it from getting any surface rust

This build is looking great- just curious; what is this costing the owner approximately?
