Back in the late 80's, I ordered a flare kit from Korman and got those. They are fiberglas and pretty thin. They are also wide- 6" as I recall. Not really what I wanted for a road car at the time. I was able to trade them to Rick Haner. He had bought a set of Z-products flares which turned out to be too narrow (3") and too heavy for what he wanted. We both lucked out.

The Z-products flares were nicely made. The gel coat was pretty damn smooth, not a lot a wavyness. The only bad thing is that they were made for the long point bumpers. I had to cut that recess out, flip it over, and dyna-glas it back in place so it would fit the short bumper ends. A bit more work, but that was when I had more time than money, so no big deal. I also filled in the fuel filler hole in the same fashion.

I spoke to Rick Haner about 3 years ago and I believe he still has your flares. He emailed pictures of flares he had store at a shed somewhere that were similar to those pictured above. He offered them up to me to have molds made but at the time I was looking for more of a pig cheek style flare.

I also called Z products, summer of 09, basically the same thing, he tried to sell the molds, but he did mention somthing about a group buy, i don't remember the details though. anyway talking about Z Products reminded me of this catalogue my old man had, too bad its really no good anymore : (

I would prefer metal flares over FG ones though, IMO metal is easier to work with

Then absolutely talk to Matt McGinn at Sports-Car-Restoration (SCR) in CT. I prematurely had him make me a set (pig cheek style of course). Now they sit in my garage, nicely boxed up and dormant, waiting for when I find the perfect roundie. They are a work of art. They are outside the box thinkers at SCR, so they'll do a one-off of really anything.
