The problem is that once you start flaring it and warming it up to not destroy the paint it gets really flimsy and the flare looks a little wavy. What i did that helped a lot was to roll and flare let it cool and then pulled it with my hands to kind of smooth out the waves in it. It stll needs some pretty excessive body work and if you pull as much as i did, the quarter panel will cave in.
thnaks for the tips

there's a limit you can flare the rear. if you flare too much, the rear quarter panel above the lip will start to bend inwards.
