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?

Hey Andy,
I run a Sheridan Standard body on the street and have 18X8 & 18X10's on the car. I could probably get 11's on the rear. The wide body version is too wide for the street...unles you have 600+HP and need 12-13 wheels. Also, the wider the flairs stick out the more rock chips you pick up. I will have to treat my rear flairs with a thin clear protective film to keep the paint nice. I have about 4K on my car now and the rear flairs already need touching up. If you want your car to be obnoxiously over the top...go ahead with the wide body version. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) Bill Attached image(s) |
