Rear fender pulling
Rear fender pulling I have been searching for information on this car and how he did it, yet to find anything.
Any leads or information on how he got the rear fenders flared and pulled like that would be greatly appreciated
It almost looks like he used a fender roller to press it out, but most others I have seen do that it ends up creasing the quarter panel.

There was a member on here who had a thread showing the fender pulling work he had done on a couple camaros. Looked very similar. I'll try to find the thread when I get a chance.
If you are talking about the thread where he cut the fender into strips then bondo'd them and repainted it I have seen that.
Hoping for something that doesn't require extensive bodywork

I'm no expert, but I would say that guy did NOT cut the quarter to get that minor flare. Probably had to repaint the quarter, but no chtting I would bet. Massaging and heat would be my guess, and maybe with the fender roller tool.

If either of you find it please let me know! I have been searching and even PM'd someone who others have said has done it but he hasn't responded.
And the reason I want to know is this, 19x12" wheel, 5.5" lip:

If I remember right, the guy in the thread I'm thinking of was just able to flare out the bottom part of the rear quarter pannel (the part directly behind the tire if looking at it directly from behind), not up where the fender is. Based on that picture you posted, it look like you're going to have to extend the whole fender out at least an inch and a half. I think that might require cutting release slits and pulling the sheet metal.
Yep, that's the one I was referring to.
By the way, what wheels did you end up finding now? You got any other pics of them? You're so damn good at finding wheels. I swear, you change out wheels more than anyone on Tech

Car is the pictures above is Casey's. He's a member here and posts in the Western Section. Great guy I'm sure he'll be willing to help. His SN is cq55 if I remember right when I talked to him last he had a body shop do it. Original paint.
