ZG Fender Flares on a FB!
Yes thats right. I have started the install on the FB. The Rear Passenger is mounted. I took pictures of the whole process. I will post some teaser pics later.
There are a few problems and a few things that I am going to change.
Stay tuned!

Before
With my measurements
After
as you can see I am working in very limited confines. I had about 6 ft of space between the wall and rear wheel. I will finish up the driver's side rear the rest of this week and then do the fronts. Fronts are easy.... Rears take alittle work.
Like I said full write up. Mean time enjoy my passenger rear.....

blam!
there are little things that don't do it for me like the gaps at the bottoms, front and rear. I have an Idea to resolve that. I tried to limit modifing the flares as much as possible. This is because I track this car and a hit to the side would kill the flare I would rather replace it with something over the counter and no modifications.
Let me know what you think?

Got them locally from classic datsun. They make them when you order them. They are a good bunch of Guys. My 510 buddy introduced me to them.
When I finish this I plan on assembling a ZG Flare hardware kit. While the mounts I used are fairly strong and sturdy I question the longevity of the expansion nuts.
So I ordered a bag of nut-inserts that are perfect for this installation. The last bit I ordered as well is a "gasket" that runs between the fender and the flare. This gasket will conceal the gaps.
The bottom gaps I don't quite know yet. I might just do an compound triangle to fill the gap. We shall see.

I always knew the ZG's were possible. Thing is when I bought them I took a blind leap. When I received them I put them on the car and realized... this could work.
I always try so make something work. And if the didn't? and I screwed up? Gives me a reason to put my imsa widebody rear kit on. Which is soon to be for sale.
