    Thanks buddy. I haven't started trimming my flares yet. I know ill have to do a little fiberglassing to make them for perfect but it doesn't look too tough. Just mostly debating if I should run outer lip screws for mounting or if there was another way that might work.

    Whats your name again? My name is Zandy by the way. Here are some pics. All four are mounted with 2 screws on each one.

    Here is a close up. I have covered the molding gaps but the rears from the celica fits better in the front and the fronts were mounted on the rear.

    I figured those mount studs got reused on yours. I'm eliminating them. Thanks for the pics. I'm Joe btw.

    Joe I'd like to see what you end up doing. Definitely don't like the molding gaps and gas tank curve which is currently in the front. Post some pics on your build if you haven't done so.. Good luck and looking forward to see the results...

    Ill get better pics up soon. The gas tank curve will get eliminated from the front flare. So are the moulding bumps at the edges. I'm also gonna cut my gas door corner off to let it swing past a rear flare. Don't wanna make a flare bum, rather just trim the door corner off. The hardest part is getting the curve to flatten out for a truck body. Rears for pretty easy, fronts need more work.

    August 2013 Updates

    Here is a list of some of the updates:

    Bilstein Rear shocks BSN-24-188203 (summitracing.com)

    Moog RT Upper Arm Ball Joint MOG-K9024 (summitracing.com)

    Wheels not looking good on the truck due to my flares. These will probably go on the selling block.
