so, lately, i have been thinking ...
i HAVE TO put my car on scotts celette bench to get it straightened out. more likely than not, the FG bodywork will crack in the process. then there's the issue of fitting more rubber under those fenders with the 3.6L. i had no trouble spinning the 9" goodyear schlicks with the ~120HP 2056. with the 3.6L it'll be worse for sure ... so, anyone here who has made the sheridan widebody kit work for the street ??? i imagine it would take some fabbing, as the hoods are part of the panels and would have to be cut out. how about taillights and front blinkers? am i nuts?

unless you are going to mold the targa bar into the rear section for the wide version i would go with the standard kit. otherwise, you will have the overlap of the quarters on the targa bar. i have the wide version (for the track only) and wish i had bought the standard version, much cheaper, just as effective, and easier to mount to a tub car. unless you have sick horsepower the wide is an overkill. sheridan only went that wide because that was gt2's max track width and was neccessary to compete against other monster tube frame gt2 cars. it is awesome looking though (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/aktion035.gif)
