(Hope you don't mind the link, EugenioSS) So I have been looking at Casey Quinn's car for a while now and the idea of 335s all round for the track has been growing on me (on 17 x 12 CCW wheels, just like Casey). What I am wondering is, does anyone know how he got his rear fenders to be flared like that? Are they custom one-off pieces, or did he just get them flared them by rolling them? That looks like it takes of any rubbing issues that might come up in the rear. Thanks. |

He told me that he flared himself and then had a body shop clean it up, and paint it.
FWIW I just used a big hammer, started pounding and they flared pretty easily. It helps to have the inner fender seperated from the outer. Best bet is to cut a slot in it and then pound it out. I've not yet run the car, and I don't even have the 12" wheels yet. I did however space the 11" wheels and 315's further out by 1-1/4". Then removed the springs, and dropped the car all the way on the stops. Looks like they'll clear. Flared the rear about 2" sticking with the 11's up front. |
