ColdScrip Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 (edited) Any thoughts/solutions for drilling into the rear quarter? Potential rust starting - would need to coat the newly drilled holes with paint or something after. Possibly use some seals on the bolts. Any ideas with a possible rubber seal around the part? I am sure you have already thought of these things, but I didn't see talk of them yet. Of course these could all be mute points since the original quarter would need to be modified to fit a larger tire anyways.I also assume we are talking sheet metal screws and not bolts. Excellent job by the way. You certainly have a lot of talent. Edited April 28, 2014 by ColdScrip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excellent job by the way. You certainly have a lot of talent. What I plan on doing is drilling the holes, then something like frame saver or por15, something durable before the rivits/bolts go in.. Still undecided on hardware yet, rivits/sheet metal screws will be the easiest, but I want to use something nicer... I have thought about a seal of some sort, maybe even silicone for them, but I want it to fit flush, so thats something that would be personal preference really. And yes this is a huge commitment to hacking up the quarter panels, flaring them and rewelding, All of which needs to be repainted to prevent rust. I removed my gas tank yesterday in preparation, maybe not necessary, but I feel much safer in doing so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

383chevelle Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 Maybe use rivnuts and some bolts with some bonded washers under them would look really clean. Thats how we installed canopies on our 40% rc planes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

19cturbo Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 be like the 240 widebody kits.. the gas door stays the same and there is a cut out for it.. http://th04.deviantart.net/fs14/PRE/f/2007/099/7/6/Widebody_240sx_8_by_punxva.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jszucs Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 be like the 240 widebody kits.. the gas door stays the same and there is a cut out for it.. That is ugly, lazy and non ero. Why not just move the door out with the wide body pannel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R-R-Quest Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 ^^^ I agree^^^ Leaving the fuel door in it's original location with a widebody kit looks S-T-U-P-I-D imo. It say's, "I'm a lazy ricer!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laodicea Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 WTH??? DAMMIT!! should I go cut some fenders off to the size of your fiberglass ones and then add the width to it and mold them in...I can do it for $100 I bet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Convette Posted May 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2014 (edited) Yeah... Lol so about the fuel door, I was going to put a provision in for a flush mount fuel door, however they are not cheap. The one I was looking at is around 270. Since I changed my mind and have gone with a fuel cell, I will no longer be using the stock fuel door. This is really going to be up you. I also hate how it looks when it's just a hole for the stock door. It could easily be done by putting the hinge and unlocking mechanism on the fiber glass panel to duplicate the stock door. Or a universal fuel filler door could be bolted to the side panel and would use the stock cap with the door removed. If you want to cut your car up and make your own...by all means have at it.
