mtech flares installed

Post by davidu »

I shaved off bolts and used 3M structural adhesive for bodyshops, in the places where the bolts were, and used 1/4 3m 2 sided tape along the top edge to keep the water out. works well, 30 min clamp time at 70 F

I have a set of M-Tech skirts, and potentially a set of (hideously ugly) pfeba skirts, but I don't think either would suit the look you're going for. I'll keep my eyes peeled for you!

Looks great. Did you shave off the bolts and use 3m double sided tape or another method?

^ thanks,

I have been really enjoying driving this car again, I got my insurance upped to 7500$ if its wrecked, lately I have not even wanted to drive it because I could never get what I have in it back out,.... Its on now! still nervous but at least its covered with antique insurance with a stated value on my terms not theirs..... maybe it should be higher....?

Looks great, David. I think you should insure it for at least 10k.
