autotr8er2 Posted May 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 Ok, I couldn't wait for the roll cage to start putting the running gear on. I got as far as the rear to see how much more I need to trim and praying I got my measurements right. Ok, 'nuf talking http://i1123.photobucket.com/albums/l543/autotr8er/Mobile%20Uploads/269EA8DE-4821-4BB0-8F38-A37E37526852.jpg Yeah, I'm on the money!!

importwarrior Posted May 15, 2015 Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 time for the convette extra wide body panel replacement. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedyquest Posted May 15, 2015 Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 It would be a hard decision to cut past the top of the fender flare for our cars. Its really a distinct part of our body lines and part of the appeal for the widebodies. It will also open up a whole new can of worms with how to deal with that if you do cut past it. That being said I know you have the abilities to make whatever you want and the drive to complete it so I say do what you think best fits the vision you had for the car. Either way the car will end up bad tail! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
autotr8er2 Posted May 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 Thanks man. Well here's the front. First time the fenders have been on in over a year. One was original to the car. The other came from another car Vin tag was still in it. http://i1123.photobucket.com/albums/l543/autotr8er/Mobile%20Uploads/941CE4AC-162F-41DA-85DE-B6D3AAD0FD88.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
autotr8er2 Posted May 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 At this point the front and rear subframe are installed. Just got notified today, the roll cage is on its way. Woot! So, what you see is the actual track width of the car. G'nite all thanks for the support! I'm humbled by it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
