This is gonna look good, it kinda reminds me of the big yellow chevy on 44s in top truck challenge 1998* it had a cadillac 510ci big block, 1 tons, and 44" boggers. Badass truck. Good luck on the build, im sure it'll kick ass when its done. (* if i remember correctly) |

I designed the C's in CAD and had someone machine them for me.

For now I have been using these but they are a tad long for 1.9 wheels. http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXGM26&P=7 |

Yeah these flares are pretty expensiv, but they look great, especially on your chevy  There isnīt another way to get some flares, is it? Buying the rubicon to cut it down or these ones... looking for some flares for my blazer K5 project... |

Someone on here did cut off the flares from a Rubi and mount them on a K5 body. It looked SWEET! I've been thinking about doing that with another K5 body I have.

StangKilla SS, Someone on RCMT posted how to make those similar flares. I remember reading it a long time ago but cant seem to find it anywhere tonight. If you find it pm me a link too. ;). Its on the most recent server in case you wanted to make them yourself. |
