Hi, iv jus brought a protec wide arche kit, what is the best way to fit the rear quatres? should i cut the complete quatre off, leaving a inche overlap to bond the fibre glass arches too? or should i cut the outer arch out level to the inner, weld the inner and outers together and jus bond the new arches over the top? iv spent hours looking on the search tool but cant seem to find the answer im after, your input is appriciated as im unsure which route to take, many thanks

Try looking for CountVauxalot's track car build. he did a damn thorough job if adding a wide kit to his shell.

Removing the whole arch/1/4 will reduce the structural strength in the rear of the shell.

i cut 3-4 inches out of my back arch then welded a new strip in to join the panels back together
