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?

QUOTE(wbergtho @ Mar 11 2006, 08:32 PM) 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:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Bill Bill, nice car!!! Hear you on the rock chips. But that's what I mean about the 'one piece' look. hijack.. Look at the radiused rear wheel wells on the 904. The squared off look of the 914, not to bad with standard fenders, IMO looks odd with the flares. Has anyone tried this with a little fender lip? C'mon you photoshoppers, pimp my ride. I think it would be an improvement with any flares. pic edited for size.. This post has been edited by Jeroen: Oct 31 2006, 08:22 PM Attached image(s)
