been thinking about how the fuck lads get this going on.
Is it by using a roller? cut and weld in new arch, bash out with hammer and filled or WTF??

Yeah mostly bashed out then rolled then filled ha.
Just looks so legit like rolled metal .

That looks pretty similar to my arches and they were rolled and filled.
yea I want mine to look like yours greg maybe a bit wider I think x100's lack rear arch flare big time makes the back bumper look bulky when the wheel sits flush with it. may get the hammer out
Buddy's arches were done in Japan and pretty sure they were cut and weld job look serious tidy

whats the procedure to get that result can anyone confirm ??
I'd say you could roll them or cut and weld. Depends what your tastier at doing though. Although looking at them the 1st and 3rd pic don't look rolled judging by the shape of the arch, the chaser looks rolled though I think that looks nicer but the r32 is a boxier shape so maybe that's why the arch shape is a bit different in the two pics.
as in cut the middle of the arch and weld in a strip?Quote:

That's another one of my buddy's cars he didn't use arches off another car he cut the arches up and got sheet metal then and made his own design but he's changing it up again because the arch had to go on the door to work so he is solving that problem to make the arch all one pieceQuote:

Cut and weld is the only way to get it like that top picture , easiest way would be to cut an arch to the shape you want out of a piece of sheet metal then bring the arch on the car out to met it and weld it up if that makes sense , unless u want an arch full of filler
Seen a friend of mine doing this to couple of cars. He does a lot of custom steel wings and arch work looks unreal tidy but takes a lot of time to get right I'll see can I get some pictures he's in middle of doing this twincam at minute.. These he just flared and rolled and pulled it as much as possible still needs work but it's not rubbing at all with suspension fully raised into body doesn't look much in picture

I can do them if you like no problem there's plenty of lads around that will do a good job, not that it's hard to find someone to do it good, it's the fact people don't want to pay the money to do it right most people don't have a clue of the amount of hours needed to do it right , most seem to prefer to get the cheapest job possible which usually involves a big slab of filler in your arch
how much would u be talkn roughly? i have 9j -40s to go onto the rear of my 4 door r32 im pretty sure im going to need arch work done at some stageQuote:
