Mustang Fiberglass flairs

[RedNeckZ]

Before anyone asks, yes, I did the normal search. Now the question. I was helping a friend put some fiberglass flairs onto his 65 mustang. I started to look at them and found out they are real close to our flairs. I checked out the site he got them from: WWW.Mustangdepot.com . I need to ask, if anyone has used or looked into this. The other site I looked at is WWW.MustangPlus.com they have a 4" set that looks real interesting (code: 00859). The price is pretty good for me. I know it may take some body work or trimming to get a nice fit and to fit or smooth them out. Any ideas out there about this? I am looking into putting this onto a 1972 240Z with a G-nose (track car only). Thanks, Rich.

This could fit in the same situation as the 944 flare kits. Close enough to consider, but little experience with anybody that actually did it.

Thanks, for the advice. I am looking at it, as a way to cut cost in building my next 240Z (racing only). I was involved with getting his car together and liked the way the look gave it. I wished I had the skills you have shown on your car. You have given me a lot of ideas on my first Z. But now I will be trying it a little different way. My Z will have a 401 AMC engine in it (have a short block already)(need a transmission to go with it). I am also going to try to graft the brakes off of a 300ZXT onto my Z. When you sent me the paperwork on your car back when I was with the Colorado Z club, it helped me a lot. This site has also been a great help. But most of all it has me trying stuff I would have never tried before. You have helped a lot of us out here in hybridZ land. So Thanks, Rich.

Those are awfully expensive flares for a cost cutting measure. Have you considered the MAS flares? I think they're about the cheapest.

jknc90,

Dude, I have been thinking about that idea for quite a while. Now only to do it.

 

Not the best drawings on the site, but you get the idea.

Thanks, all for the info. I loved the drawings, a new area or idea to look into. I do have the MAS flairs (complete set - street). They are not that great fitting and poor quality. For a complete set it isn't that bad of a price. I paid that much and more for the motorsportZ street flairs (had to add three sheets of fiberglass to make them work on the street). I am adding this to a Z with g-nose and whale tail. Because this is my second Z, I can do a lot more to it then I could my first Z. We are looking at doing this one up right. We will be spending some money on it. Thanks again, Rich.
