I will take one set, no question. I would like to commit to 2 sets but I have some reservations.
I am purchasing for a 78 Concord AMX and a Gremlin GT. I would like to get the rear flares for both. Black is fine for the AMX. One further complication is that my Gremlin GT is Sun Orange. The flares on that car are orange all the way through. I can provide rear flares for both. They are used. I can certainly see about sending the best ones that I have. (The Gremlin is easy since I only have the set on the car.) |

New here but am looking for the same. Couple different options that can be tried prior to committing to that particular company. Have you thought about going the 3d printer route?
https://www.raise3d.com/collections/3d-printer/products/raise3d-n2-plus-pre-order-fdm-3d-printer They also do in house reproductions https://www.raise3d.com/blogs/case/automotive You'd just need to send them a cad file or the part iteself which can then be scanned and shipped back to you. Or buy the printer and get them scanned by another company so you can print yourself https://www.laserdesign.com/3d-scanning-parts-objects or you can get the cad file and put out a tender for someone to make it https://www.3dhubs.com/ Can also get another quote from an injection molder to compare prices http://www.cyplas.com/injection-molding/ http://www.janler.com/SamplingPreProductionProduction.html https://www.prodigymold.com/about-us/quality-1 3d printing can be like $30 to print a part in materials vs spending $450 on mold sampling |

I am happy to help with the 3D printing idea.
The flares are pretty massive and would require a large printing bed. If anyone has experience in the 3D printing and knows the questions to ask that would be great. Mirror Image uses a low pressure molding process that worked great on the front spoilers. Barrieglfer: Do you want to take the lead on this avenue of 3D printing? |

Do you have a measurement for length? Tip to tip across rather than along the edge

The front flare at its longest is 3 ft 10 inches and the total height is about 25 inches from the bottom of the flare to the top. They have a curve of about 3-4 inches.
That’s the best I could get for measurements. If you need more please let me know. Dave |

The pattern must be full cause there isn't much conversation!
I am not sure how interested anyone is in getting the 78 Concord and 78 Gremlin GT rear Flares molded up or further investigated. I will check my microfiche and see if I can figure out if the flares had individual part numbers. AMO is in Indiana in June so that might be a pretty good place for collecting samples or distributing products I have been following 3D printing for quite some time and I don't think that is the way to go with the flares. The printers have some jitter which will be seen in the finish. The printers are typically too small to support printing this part in whole and I doubt that piecing it together will work very well. I think the mold is the way to go on this. I just read the whole post, again, and it appears we are still short some sales. I am not certain of the final count since the post goes back 2+ years. If we are able to address my 2 issues with the 78 flares, I would consider funding the rest of the needed sets of flares. I hope my purchase is less than 10 sets and that I can coordinate pick-up instead of paying for shipping. It might be good to collect the other colors for the Gremlin GT Flares in case final sales are interested in those colors. I think we may need a press release package or an order sheet to determine what we are looking for regarding other colors. There is a possibility that I have some blue flares on my AMX but I will need to further investigate.

Here is what I found out today regarding the Concord AMX and Gremlin GT (series 03 and 40):
1. Part numbers for flares are the same for both vehicles: Left Rear 12.125-18 371 9785 (No superseding number) Right Rear 371 9784 (New # - 372 6669 Left Front 12.075-13 371 9771 (New # - 372 5981 Right Front 371 9770 (New # - 372-5980) Most had the note "NC" - "Neutral Color" probably Black. ------------- Per my Supplement to: Dealer Price Section 2 Page 5A Issued: December 5, 1977: "Fiberglass Body Components including Front Air Dam (body colored w/striping, below front bumper). Front and Rear Fender Flares (matched to body color w/pin striping and black inner panels) Colors: G7 - Alpine White 6V - Sunshine Yellow 7Z - Sun Orange 6P - Firecracker Red 7D - Powder Blue Package cost the dealer 551.65. Suggested Retail was 649.00 I am not saying that we need to be able to provide all the colors but there is a possibility that someone with a Gremlin GT may want to get a body color flare like me. I think I have Paint chips or I am sure that I can come up with some to help with coloring. I hope to have Spirit AMX Flare part numbers tomorrow.

The part numbers for the Spirit AMX are:
79 / AMX Left rear - 372 9207 Right rear - 372 9206 Left front - 373 1273 Right front - 373 1272 Front spoiler numbers: 78 AMX AND GREMLIN GT - 20.115-4 Right 371 9764 Left 371 9765 79/ AMX Right 372 5660 Left 372 5661 So... 78 Concord AMX and Gremlin GTs are the same flares Perhaps some fit and finish issue previously discussed were due to Concord parts on a Spirit. We may need to check that the 78 front flares are the same as the 79 flares. I need to order a front spoiler to see how it fits my Concord.
