The flares needed to be modified because the fenders are carbon fiber wide body to accommodate the 335 tires. They just never fit "right".

That is my plan as well - going square front and rear. Looks like I won't find something. I've started building a prototype now - will probably use a 67-72 C10 front inner fender grafted to a Camaro outer with a wide lip flare.

My IRS is 64" WMS to WMS so we're plenty wide, with 12" from the front of the hub to the inner tub wall.

Did Carbon Kustoms make the wide body fenders too? My front is currently 61" but I think I can go out a bit more.

It would be nice to not have to make my own. I'd prefer to put those 100+ hours some where else.

Yes, Albert from Carbon Kustoms has the fenders available. We purchased the car from him last year. Give him a call. He is a plethora of knowledge on the 2nd Gen f-body's and will definitely help you out. His white 2nd gen camaro has wide body rear fenders as well. Dude really knows his cars.

Yes, 335's on all four corners.

Thanks, would be nice if his PM box wasn't full :)

Fender flares are coming along. Getting closer to a before and after shot.

Serious stuff!
 
Super jealous of 335's all around. Love the carbon work on the TA as well:flashie:

Justin, it is like riding around in a big go kart.

We did get some bad news from Dusold yesterday.
The Ridetech airbar and driver side frame rail broke. Looks like we will be rebuilding the rear suspension...any ideas?
