Is your roof non metallic paint?

,, and amazing end result well done she is a bute xI'm sure he may well do that if a few of u guys are interested.
The only problem we had was with the curve of the arch we had to bend it slightly to make it go ith the curve/shape
As for the welding ill have to ask him what he used, I.have no idea on welding lol.
Aberderpuma, thanks lol its had a lot of blood sweat and swearing put Into her lol.

Is that for a pair?
Yes mate.
As I said in an older post you may need t slightly bend them to follow the cars curve, its really not hard, mine as an example.
I'll try find a better pic when I get home, they fit nicely and stop about 6 inch from the underside of the car meaning it cuts all the water holding lip out and can't rust again

Yea true I suppose I may be after a set of these I did weld new arches on last year off a doner puma,, but ford metal only last so long and I da wan my car to see another 10 years so while its having the re-spray now it would make sense to take advantage

Definitely worth while doing if its having a re spray, take advantage and don't have to worry about rust

Yep I would like to see any piccies of the arches whether off or while being put on car.
By bending the arches to fit did you mean to fit the side of the car so to speak or did you mean needs bending to follow the circle of the arch?

http://tinypic.com/r/29p80go/6 heres one of them being welded in
http://tinypic.com/r/acrggi/6 the cut out on the car showing how far they go to, and by bending you can see the bottom where it finishes is slightly curved inwards, its bent by hand on my car

Right I see what you mean about bending the bottom in now.
I see on your's you seem to have been able to retain the original arch lip I'm thinking some people probably dont have that luxury as the lip will be gone as well. Is he able to make them with the lip on?

Yeah I cut the piece out retaining the bottom thin lip which I also cut parts out of, haven't got a pic unfortunately.
The bottom lip was a welding point.
It was welded fully across the top, the side where meets the bumper and spot welded in the thin strip, just for strength.
I imagine you could cut the whole lot out and make it with a lip, as it wasn't done on mine ill have to get a template and see what he can do.
So it would be the same
s the originals but with, something like a 5mm lip on the back?.
Please correct me if I'm wrong
