If either of those cars were available here I would be laughing. Seriously contemplating using the UVW map of a 3d model, get it laser cut and 'join the dots' (tack weld together). It isn't the conventional way of making them but I believe 0.7mm material or thereabouts would actually be workable enough to do the job.

If you're not sure what I mean; imagine the simple cardboard box in its 2dimensional form, a flat item that once folded and joined forms a 3d box. Same concept for this, except I won't be folding anything but joining.

Am I making sense?

Here people use Chrysler Horzizon flares. They are all-metal and stick out about an inch.

polished stainless would be the go for bolt ons with carbon black hex allen heads and raised tapered washers

The bloke on eBay that sells they floor pans he does steel flares for 1200 ask for some pics

I think I have heard of people using Golf GTI flares cut out and then welding them into the Datsun guard, maybe they could be made bolt on also?

I'm about to embark on making a set of flares for my 1000, the wheels stick out HEAPS, any advice from people who have done this previously?

I am intending to have the metal pieces as separate items to the body work.
