Have to fill the area where the 7" was added to the wheelbase. Made a channel to make up the space between the door jam, and the tub, then filled the space. The only rust on this whole car was the window channel, which I removed and replaced with the new filler channel. Sucky part is now I have to do the other side.

Started messing with the flares, what do you think? It really doesn't look that crazy considering the 7 extra inches of wheelbase.

Ron,When do you think you will have this monster running down the road.

57hemicuda 04-01-2013 09:38 AM

I'm hoping it will be out this year, it sure doesn't look like it though.lol I've got a POS 6.0 Silverado engine tucked under my bench I may just blow the dirt out of it, cam it up, and stick in there just to work the bugs out. Or maybe I'll pull the Mustang engine freshen it up, and stick a Ford motor in that car, who knows.

Nice build....:trophy-1302:
I would see the rear wheels going a little bit outside the wheelwells...
They seem a little shy as is...and you would gain space for your coilovers.

The pics don't really show how much of a bulge is really there. This car I want to be much more mild on the outside then my Mustang is(as mild as it can be with 335's all the way around). I really want to see if with a little nip and tuck I can clean up the awkward lines of the AMX. Like the title says, its an Xperiment. The front unfortunatly wil have quite a bit more bulge then the rear due to the lack of transition area on the front, compared to the rear. That to me is the fun part of the build.

coolwelder62 04-03-2013 06:40 AM

Ron, just hurry and finish this thing.LOL!!!

57hemicuda 04-03-2013 07:02 AM

Is your 335 beast done yet? well is it? well? LOL
