You can't really see it in this photo, but I added two layers of 8 oz cloth to the flange on this rear half of the wheel pant. I did this to made the front half even with the outside of the aft half.
When the wheel pants are put together, you can see the large gap between the front and rear half.
The gap is very uneven all the way around.
To fill the gap, I first wrapped the front half in this light brown packing tape.
Then I made up a mixture of resin, cab-o-sil, cotton flock, and microballoons and filled the gap.
Once this mess is sanded off, I'm left with a perfect filler! Now there is no gap. I may need to sand a few thousands off the front half to make a small gap for the thickness of the primer and paint.
