I pulled the bracked off the flare and place the flare where I wanted it. Marked the location, then made a paper pattern of the flare and the location of the bolts. Then taped that to the fender lining it up with the previous markes.  Remember 78 and 79 flares have different mounting locations. That's the reason I needed to drill new holes.
79 Trans am low buck LS swapped
79 Formula 301 (Work in progress)
67 RS Camaro (waiting it's turn)
69 Dodge charger on late model charger chassis
49 Ford F1 on a 2003 Chevy ZR2 Chassis (current project)
Names, Luke. If I hear anyone telling me they're my father....

Absolutely. I had basic info even though no flares, but couldn't even get confirmation of what he needed to know. Completely backwards having to chase somehow who needs help.

Took you two days to reply.  He probably got an answer on FB immediately although it was probably wrong

Well since I don't know the answer, that would defeat the purpose of me answering.  Unlike you who needs to input snide comments about the poster.  You behaved for a bit but you're slowly back to your old self.
