FINALLY!!! W/T Flare progress on my waggie ( pics)

[River Beast]

I have finally got past the point of no return!!

It is turning out really good, but VERY time consuming!!! Its alot fo tedious work and cut- measure-cut and repeat... but its gonna be worth it in the end...

Here is the prepwork...

The primary cut....


This is where I had to really take my time... the waggie 'flared molding' that normally sits just to the rear of the door had to be replaced with the W/T portion without the flared molding look... this is the W/T piece I used to recreate the panel and W/T mold to fit on RB


After I got the lower section done with the W/T panel and notched the lower corner of the door, I flanged the body panel to accept the flare...


Here is the flare held in by clamps for a test fit... I am taking a break right now... been at it since 6am... 11 hours straight... I have to weld all the panels and tack in the flare afterwards.. then seal the wheelwell up....


NOW QUIT BUGGIN ME!!!! j/k

I'm POOPED!!!!

nice, now you have to trim them jk

[River Beast]

sure... all that work just to cut 'em... NOT!!!!!

I know the saying is, measure twice, cut once, but sometimes you have to cut once, and the welder or torch can take care of the rest!. I now figure, if I cut to much, I must not need it. LOL Looks good, hope everything turns out well! Dennis

Very nice Todd!
Jeez I remember when you started this. I didn't think you'd get that clean looking of a fit and still have the rear doors functional w/o splitting the flare and mounting part to the door or having the rears doors inop w/o serious work. You did the serious work!
I stand humbled...but in awe. You talented people 'are' humbling ya know. [img]smile.gif[/img]
You do realize of course in the future RB is going to have the same effect or more so than that Jeep dealers/farmed out Wag(Brian Chiapas?) w/flares picture so common on the net had.
"Yeah Bubba you can add WT flares to a 4 door Wag. I saw a Wag called RiverBeast and he added flares to a Wag. No prob they'll fit...bolt right up...I seen it on the internet!"
Again...nice job!
