MARK FRST Posted October 4, 2009 Report Posted October 4, 2009 seen worse you never saw the ones taken off mine ther really was an inch lol
Savvi Posted October 4, 2009 Report Posted October 4, 2009 ? with half an inch of filler It needs that much cos it's been fitted over the top, it's better to slide it inside if you can, although you can see it from inside that way.

bigdaz27 Posted October 5, 2009 Author Report Posted October 5, 2009 ive spoken to two people today one being abingdon car restorations and the other being retromotorsport about the state my arches are in and they both said the same same thing The best way is to butt weld new arches in, the second best is to slip them up inside, the worse, but most common is to weld on the outside like mine are at the moment im thinking about having ago my self but im going to think about that one
BIGKEV Posted October 5, 2009 Report Posted October 5, 2009 easy to do should take you half a day max
RossMK2 Posted October 5, 2009 Report Posted October 5, 2009 mine have filler that hasn't been sanded down properly by who ever did them i ant em done but cant afford the spray job after
Tom Posted October 5, 2009 Report Posted October 5, 2009 its almost scary when you're happily grinding away and POOOF!!! a big cloud of filler dust!

over_head_cam Posted October 5, 2009 Report Posted October 5, 2009 Done a few more arches since then KJ has one butted and one under, Willsy's got half an under Bigdaz, I've seen loads worse, and TBH when they are tack welded like that at least they are easier to get off
