As you can see, the tire coverages issues aren't near as bad as my Mustang. I will probably cut the quarter the rest of the way off, shape it, and weld it back on. There will be some tire skirting on the rear especially, but they will both have to be flared some. Can't wait to get to that part of the build, don't know why, but I love doing that part of the build. The body work, after the metal work (not my favorite). Started the X bracing behind the watts link, really getting busy looking.

Track width is 62" in the front 61" in the rear plenty of engine room, at full lock tires rub nothing.

Wow. Those rear tires look great back there!
Great set-up.

Got the X bracing finished, still gets a bottom bar, turned out retty good. Door bars are next, then I get to start shaping the quarters.
