Got the 1/4 panels to nearly the right shape
,now a case of a lot of smoothing out and getting covered in filler dust
This pic shows how wide kit is from standard, over 2"" per side

Ive done this kind of work before in the body shop and its very rewarding making custom stuff, I like the Question of how do you make them look the same both sides, Il give you the real answer, time and effort and a good eye are all correct but the main thing is if you can find me a person who can look at both sides of the car at the same time to tell you they are out then he must have a very wide head lol.

Bodyline on the kit door was not defined enough, so we cut it out and added another one,,,,,,,,,,,,
Back of kit nearly complete. This is a mirror image of the panel to be fitted to, so very easy to select position, and very easy to bond on.

Got the panels in primer today
Big problem though

. Brain gone dead now (its Sunday), have another look tomorrow

Panels now moulded
Next to cut arches to allow for wider wheels;
We cut throught outer arch, then pull up inner arch and weld together....
We then seal the welded joint, and prepare surfaces for bonding on panels............
Apply PU adhesive sealer to rear of panels...........
Bond on panels and hold in place with tape...........
Leave for 24hrs now
