hmm probably a good ammount of money, seeing as that is the only body piece attached to the frame.

I have my rear quarters flared, It cost me $2100 to have it done using the existing metal. They had to massage the metal out using a tool that used several tons of force. The rear quarters wanted to stay in their original position so tons of force wasnecassary to get them to become flared. Then theinner and outer wheel well had to be cut out and then re installed. Then both rear quarters had to be sanded, primered and re painted.

I went to Performance Restorations Auto Body and paint Specialists out in Mundelein.
If you want pics let me know and I will take some and E mail them to you.

Not really, there was over 50 Hours in the rear quarters, plus the body shop had help from Wheel to Wheel in Michigan since the only other car to have this done was Jon Moss's ZL1. They were the only shop that would do this for me since the owner knew Jon Moss and knew he would get help.
Wheel to Wheel would have charged me over $3000 just to flare them, thats without all the prep work, and the removing and replacing the iner and outer wheel wells.

Yes, flared fenders do look *much* better, and allow for wider rubber. All the more reason to move upscale and buy a Formula or T/A.

I can fit 335's back there with room to spare, the flares really made alot more room back there. I can fit 28x11.5x 15 slicks back there with room to spare.
Thanks for the compliments, I will take some more pics later this morning and post them up. I;ll put the rear wheels back on to show how much room I have left.
