Has anyone installed rear fender well flares? Also, can anyone direct to a vendor which sells them or produces them. I need a set of rear flares for my 73 Maverick 2dr. If anyone can offer assistance; please contact me at: rjs281@aol.com thanks in advance.
I don't think anyone makes them, anymore. Maybe in the 70's?, they were more common, you could say, they kinda lost their "Flare" in the last 30 years.
Hello Bob...I see you found your way over here. I don't think anybody makes any wheel flares. I have never seen them before.
Eastwood makes a tool to stretch the fender wells to give a bit of flare. Are you just wanting to avoid of fix a tire rub problem, or are you wanting to radically change the contours? If you want to do the latter you will have to do it yourself or pay a good custom shop for that. IMHO.

if ur going with a larger wheel base i wood say its a neccessity, there are many ways to do it but my favourite technique wood be the cut and weld one where u cut along the contour of the fender well where u wood usually see the grabber stripes running on it above the wheel, then fab up some pieces tht bow the contour out more, weld tht, then fab a lip to weld to the tip of tht first fabricated piece so tht its not an edge but a flat piece on the bottom. i no this is a super racecar and all but this is the finishd product. it give a great curve to the body of the car.
