well, they're here. But they're gonna take a lot of trimming, bending, and reworking to fit. The arc is surprisingly shallow considering the flares are meant to fit around wheels with the same rolling diameter as ours, and Z cars are more slab-sided with less tumblehome above the midpoint.

Depends on the flares and your skills. Junkyard flares should be cheap, the Z flares run 225-250, iirc. I have a writeup on how to trim the rear fenders, don't know if it has made the archives yet. Search for threads started under my user name.
