OK, maybe I didn't post the next day. But there was a f---- HURRICANE pounding us.

Now back on track. Tommorrow I have an autox so I've spent the week tighting up some loose ends. Here is what it looks like.

I've got 1/2" spacers on the rear wheels and I can just get my finger between the tire and the inside of the fender. Maybe 1/2" clear.

But you knew that.

I use to run my tie down straps through the wheels but now with the solid wheels I'm having to run the straps around the tranny mounts. Not the best but it is easy to get them on and off. I dont think it will hurt anything.

I'll get some pics tomorrow at the event with the hood on. If you look close you'll see my front turn signal covers I've made. They are .0002 grams lighter than the stock ones. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Looks nice. Looks like a lot of work. I'm too lazy. I would have spent the $675 and bought whole fiberglass front fenders, and fiberglass rear rocker panels with the flares already there. Then sold the original metal to someone who needed them for repairs. Probably end up spending the same kind of money, not near as much work. Might even be less money. I think I saw a replacement metal fender priced at about $400. But, like I said I'm lazy.

That's looking real good Paul!
You need to lower it another inch and a half though.
Raised rear pickup points and raised spindles ought to do the trick.
Good luck at the auto-x today!

Chris,
I agree, needs to be lower.
Low, lean, wide and mean.

Paul,

Way to go! Good work. Thanks for all of the photos.

So, are you going to paint it again or are you just gonna do the JP primer thing? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) Remember, paint equals weight. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)
