Looking good! my one question or concern is this? Does the front half of the arch in the pic come forward further than the rear half of the arch does rearward? Meaning is it going to look uncentered? The pic is at an angle so its hard to tell. One trick that the top builders, Troy Trepenier, Chip Foose etc do is to actually cut and move the wheel opening till it is centered on the wheel. This gives a much more aesthetically pleasing look to the viewer. To each there own but may be worth considering in your build

Pic Number 5 for example

the cardboard wasn't totally done just wanted to post something to show I'm back on track. It will be centered as these cars also have the problem of being forward in the arch. I can fix that easily when the time comes by moving the fender flare forward! Thanks for the link
