That does look good. Very nice.:thumbsup:

Tyler,Rodger, the work is lookin real good.

Tyler,

The flares are looking really good. I can't wait to see this car in action.

Lookin' good. I love the build detail that you are sharing?

The car is getting the widebody treatment because of the trackwidth. If I changed wheels I could run a 10.5 or 11 inch wheel with a 295 or maybe 305 if my springs were stiff enough. There is room to go in another inch and out about 1/2 an inch; I've had the HRE wheels for almost 6 years now, so I'm not going to replace them anytime soon.

Back to our widebody fabrication, already in progress...

Front fender is coming along nicely. Overall it makes it seem like the car is higher than it really is. Once we set it on the ground and get it off the jig I think it will really be impressive looking.

Looks great Tyler! I am anxious to see it on the track, as I'm sure you are. What are you shooting for for a final weight?

Pappy

Uhm - it's already really impressive

btw - You can no longer say jig call it a fixture or a frame table please :lol:

50/50
 

Those flares really make the front air dam look nice on the car. Kinda like a rug tying the room together.

I agree. Very aggressive looking.:yes:

Back to the metal fabrication!

After jzr made the comment about my tiny manhood front tires I had Rodger mock up a rear C5 wheel in my front. Fits fine, but the back spacing was off a bit. I could do a 10.5 or 11 inch wheel it appears and still have clearance; just need to nail the backspacing and offset. If I can get rich soon, I'll get a set of dedicated track wheel in 18x11 and 18x12.5. That will show everyone I mean business.

C5 rear Wagon wheels my car rolled into Ironworks on to check clearance on a wider wheel:

Alright. So the taller side wall of a street radial looks a bit better than my super cool-whiz-bang- Michelin slicks. Rims are ugly though.

Nearly completed metal work on front flare/widebody treatment. It's almost 4 inches wider per side now. Think about that for a second. Total width of the car is now 7.5 inches wider than factory. Over a half a foot. Damn.

Henry makes it look so simple. New body creases, flared wheel wells, all very nicely done in bare metal.

Just need to finish the last patch panel at the bottom of the flare and fill all the clykos holes.

Rodger was worried about this transition; he wanted to know if I wanted to push the body crease out to meet the eyebrow or have a filler panel fab'd to take up the gap. I voted filler panel.

Last one until I get the inside panel shot for PCP.
