I say "JUNK IT." Its a money pit so at the end, its not a "Win-Win Situation.:lol: :lol: :lol:

Looks good Arnel.
Do they even make fat enough tires to put on those rims? You don't see too many 14x10's around. |
Nice job, what you got under the hood?

Thanks fellas Im glad you like it, I still got a few things to do before seven stock. I hope I get it all done by then. After this may be I can go back and finish the 510...:) |
for those who wants to give this a try, here's what you'll need to shape the flares.
floral foam. you can get them at your local arts store. glue gun dust mask sand paper and a knife. And for the fiber glass and resin, you can find all the stuff you need here. http://www.fibreglast.com/ I use the vinyl ester resin this comes with the hardener. one roll of strand mat they come in several weight so its up to you which one you use. and weave fiber glass...again they come in several weight so choose the one you like. here's the first step installing the floral foams and shaping the flares. Now I can only upload several pictures so I will show the next step on the next post. |

Now maybe I shouldn't have done this, at this point I wanted to at least make one extra set of flares. So I've I got creative and put some dry wall mud on top of the foams I then prime and paint it and sprayed with a release agent hoping it would come off easy and I can make another. Well not so easy the release agent didn't work as plan, it actually stuck to the mold and wouldn't come off. Notice when I took them off it actually peeled my $99.99 paint job:scratch: So only one set are made. :sadwavey:
The second picture is how it look after the 3 layer of strand mat. the last two pictures are after the last layer of woven fiber glass is installed and cured. Looks like shit... as you can see I have a lot of sanding and re shaping to do. What a mess I've made |
wow. another trailer queen in the making. LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
|
wow that looks sick!

I've seen his work/progress on a weekly basis, every Sunday to be exact, and its no joke. here's a summary and straight to the point. "If you dont have the patience and time, this is not for a regular backyard Joe." So when are my flares gonna be ready Arnel??? :lol: :lol: :lol:
|
Awesome work Arnel, it looks insanely wicked!
