I found a local shop here in Spokane to get this car back on track. Too cold to work in my garage. Derek and Bryce over at "OCD Customs" are doing an excellent job on the metal work.

Wow, those seem like some impeccably installed flares! Looks like it's going to be a great project.

yeah they got quite a bag of tricks to get the metal where they want it. He was using an angle grinder with some kind of special wheel (its in the picture) that heated up the metal. Then they'd quench it with water to move it around. Like sword smiths making a blade!

Outstanding metal work. If you are building to that quality, this is going to be one hell of a fun project to watch come together and a great car when finished. Good luck. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Got all the flares on! Need some first class metal work done on your car I highly recommend these guys. Was gonna attempt this myself but I'm glad I left it up to the professionals. Well worth the investment. Attached Image

Got some cool bits coming in the mail. Almost the entire front lower trunk area from restoration designs. Got a nice front valance from Patrick motorsports. Ahhh and bigcats recommendation for a radiator too. Fun stuff!

Question.......has anyone ever made a center tunnel for the radiator hoses? Could double as a center console to mount the shifter to. Or maybe just run the cooler water return line through that and run the hot water to the radiator under the passenger side rocker and through the foot well. Trying to not put hoses under the car being that it's gonna be pretty low to the ground.

Thanks! My guys are going to flare the rockers next. I've read it's better to match the flare than buy some read made rocker flares. That front lower valance is a nice piece but turns out it has to be narrowed about an inch or so to match my flares.
