John Kelly can provide the tech details or you can wait for the video. Here are a few: The wheel opening form is 3/8"square stock. The piece above the rocker is 1/2"X1/4" flat bar. Sheet metal will be formed and welded on.
Wheels are Porsche 18" x 11" Techno hollow spoke, a 996 option. They are mounted with 3" spacers. Fronts will be 8" wide and a smaller (pounded) flare. Attached image(s) |

HPH f/g for now but the plan is to replace those with a metal fenders hammered out per techniques in John's 1st DVD and this weekend's workshop. A local "experienced" member may be up to the task as I need lots of help to finish this car. Maybe he'll chime in... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif) BTW, the fronts are only 8" wide so it may not need much flare at all. We could also (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smash.gif) the inner wheel well if necessary. While we collaborated on the design, all kudos go to John. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/pray.gif) Very inspiring, I want most of the car in metal now. |
