Yes you can warp the quarters easily, tack every 6" round then leave to cool then a tack in between and so on. Edited by Brett on 5th Feb, 2009. Yes i moved to the darkside |

you can warp the quarters yes, but as already been said, little welds, leave to cool then go back over again later. Team www.sheepspeed.com Racing

Also I used a section from a 50gal. steel drum because its the same gauge as the shell 1.3mm IIRC. It is already curved and you just roll it up, hold in place then let go and it springs to fill the hole and stays in place, you can then just trim and weld.  what an idea...

Yeah mine warped to. Now it's gonna be a bitch to try and fill in all the ripples and rock hard to rub down the small section between the new arch lip and the quarter panel too rear panel section...... The fun never ends. |

dont think so mate, i have my roundy marked up ready for the chop and remember removing my standard arches from my clubby, i recon there will be a big gap at the top of the wheel well. Yes i moved to the darkside |

I offered up a front wheel arch on the rear tubbed arch and with a bit of jiggery pokery it would fit. You have to use the opposite side front arch on the rear arch (if that makes sense). The car would look proper low. |

Just after some help here, i've started to tub the arches on mine, but im unsure whether or not to do an overlap or butt it together, i can't tell what others have done by the pictures.

I butt welded mine in, an overlap is going to add a bit of weight, all depends how keen you want to be. Team www.sheepspeed.com Racing
