I'm looking at a narrow body shell to do my stock fendered 5 lug factory look car. Might rebuild & warm up the 1.7 in it for a driver. While repairing fender by cutting damage away n welding in a used cut out replacement fender, is there anything that can be done to fit a 215 tire under there? Anyone sell any very slight unnoticeable fiberglass fenders or metal suggestions requested.

If you are ambitious you can cut a slice in the top of the fender and weld in a spacer that goes from nothing, to an inch, back to nothing, with the fat part at the area mike mentions above.....if done well, it's hard to notice unless it's sitting next to another car.

Thx, if anyone has a pic of that slice being worked in, it would help a bunch. Not something I would consider but since the fender is being worked on maybe the profile can be reworked a bit
