Its funny, the doors are same between the newer AMX's and the first gen., so the body lines would line up, and bolt on. I( have been looking for a set of 71 and up fenders for a while just to see how they would work, like you said there is a bit more transition room there to work with. The hood area, and nose of course are a lot different, but hey everything I own ends up being a quilt anyway.

I still think the right profile of wind and end plates with a diffuser could really add to what you've got going.......just say'in. :D

I agree with the wing, and already have some ideas in the works. I still don't see how I could make a rear diffuser fit with the exhaust and fuel tank taking up so much space in the back. I really need to make some time to work on this thing, 30 min. at a clip just aint making it.

:sarcasm_smiley: Ron,I wanted more time to work on my car,So I quit my job and went on obamacare.I should be OK until 2016 when America wake's up and make's some change's.

The tank and it's frame are definitely a challenge. A pair of larger (thicker) veins to accommodate the frame rails with two smaller inside and one on each outboard side would accomplish "the look."

Exhaust can be dumped through it with tight clearance if it's done in sheet metal?

What you've accomplished is very impressive considering how tight the space is in comparison to most cars. From another perspective it's quite spacious compared to F1 engineering. :D

Keep it fun! :thumbsup:

Just do a raised floor in the back for the tank. Do like a mustang tank that drop right on in.

The trunk lid barely closes now because of the size of the tank, and it hangs out the bottom more then I'd like. The pics don't really show how space deficient this thing really is. No wasted space though, I'm using about every inch inside the sheet metal, and bulging the sheet metal where needed. LOL

Looking good, Ron. Glad you're considering a wing. I think it would work well on the car.
