thanks alot guys, its rare to have a customer give you full creative reign on a project. I think he was a bit surprised how far we took it considering it came in for a simple quarter panel and fender replacment.

Here are some more pictures of the fender stretch.

Thanks Pat....outside earlier today.

The front fenders came out great. Still doing some finish work to the passenger side fender and extension.

Pretty close to matching the rear quarter.

Did you widen the front fenders at all? Are you running an inner fender?

The front was stretched 1 1/4" to match the rear stretch. It should almost appear stock when done and painted. Till you look closer.

No inner wells. Just tin work to keep rubber and track debris off the exhaust.

The upper control arm prevented us from going with a deeper backspace so we ended up with 5 3/4" BS. We have a bit more room to the outer lip to give the tire more room during articulation a track car normally sees.

Curious as to what you see as the pros/cons of this method vs say what JCG did with their BluBalz car

http://www.camaroperformers.com/proj...g/viewall.html & http://www.camaroperformers.com/cama...l/viewall.html & http://www.camaroperformers.com/feat...o/viewall.html

Labor hrs?
Weight contribution?
Etc...
