Yeah, what paint said. I've used the same method myself and it works fine on 'glass cars. If you want flares on the Vet, done correctly they still look good. Try to find some pics of the old American Custom "Turbo" body kit option. It was hot in the late 70's-early 80's, should still be some of these cars around. Eckler's ( I think they have a new company name now) also used to make a couple of different styles.
