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?

Well.. I measured 11.75in from the smallest part of the flare (that would touch the tire, in the back) on the inside to inside.. It had around a 1/2 in of lip that I could have grounded off.. (damn flare is like 1/4-1/2 in thick around the lip!)
therefore you could fit a total of 11.75in of tire.. technically.. the way I insalled them.. |
