handmaking flares

[lammbn]

I was wondering if anybody has any experience in hand making flares. Specifically flat, straight angle flares with a small lip. The flares that I plan to make seem fairly simple to make. I don’t like the bubble type flares on Z cars, they just don’t seem to fit with the body style around the wheels. Nothing against them, just not my favorite. Anyways I am planning on attempting to make them out of sheet metal and welding them on when they are done. I guess what I am looking for out of this is for any advice and/or suggestions on the best way to go about this or any warnings about the difficulties involved. I am a fairly competent metal worker and have access to a tig welder and own a mig welder for rough work and tack welds. Here are some pictures of Z's with the flares I am trying to duplicate. I already talked to the owners and they are hand made one of a kinds. Any help is appreciated.
