RatVonDude Posted June 23, 2014 Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 Jeez, that looks like about 50 hours to do right. Couple hundred in materials. Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted June 25, 2014 Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 That is not the way those are made. I wish I could find the video I saw some made in, it was a small section of a random Japanese TV auto show.... The guy started out with a sheet of plastic and whipped out a set of these. It was impressive, but at the time I didn't think I would want to make them. Now my tires stick out for days on the 4x4 and I am thinking that might be the way to go. :lol: Quote Link to comment

datsunfreak Posted June 25, 2014 Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 And are there no "bushwacker" flares that'll fit your truck? Quote Link to comment
RatVonDude Posted June 25, 2014 Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 I'm almost wondering if you could make these by laminating sheets of plastic like plywood. Start by adhering one thin sheet to the fender in the shape you want then laminating a top and bottom, remove and laminate some more, cut to perfection. I guess the plus to doing it the hard way is that you have a mold and could nock out several. Yo J2, if you find that video please post it. That is not the way those are made.

B) Yo J2, if you find that video please post it. That's not a "J" in his name. ;) But yeah, please find it! 1 Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 :lol: It was some random video someone posted in some thread or other... I've been hunting for it lately with little luck. The 07 Ford F-350 flares look pretty good but they aren't cheap and I'd like something thats easy to duplicate when I tear one off. ;) and ya, it's an R :rofl: 1 Quote Link to comment

yellowdatsun Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 Die cast car I picked up not long ago. It seems to be a little larger than Hotwheels size. Another one I got, but the picture is crap. There's a whole line of these things, but the box is all in Japanese. 3 Quote Link to comment
