Default Rusty classic rear arches - a solution ?

Im trying to get my head round this but is this guy onto something here ? if hes right he might have solved something real big - looks like front right fits rear left and the reverse for the other side - hmmm this looks very very interesting.

Interesting, someone with a bodyshop, or experience might be able to tell us more.

It could work but the swell on the front wing is slightly more than the rear so it would need to be dollied flatter but certainly a good idea but I tend to make my own when doing rear arches on subaru's.

Any wing really of similar shape,we never throw damaged wings away as its good metal thats needed on rust buckets lol,instead of fabricating out of sheet metal we use old wings as the basic curve is there, wouldnt want to buy a wing new to cut up for plating rusty holes.
