Freaking Awesome !!!

So do you plan to make flare so you can fir a wider tire ?

Flares, shmares. Go for the second line up. Get the angle grinder. The first cut is never the deepest, but we get better cutting as we practice . . . :disgusted:

My little guy likes to get in on the action:

Still will be able to keep the trim:

Super nice fit for fusion TIG welding.

No thanks. I’ll keep it sanitary and stock looking. The body saw and 80 grit on a right angle die grinder to get the gaps perfect for hours of TIG.

Thanks.

I used quarter panel patch sections for the basic shapes but they have been heavily reworked. The fronts are 71 Mustang rear and the rears are W123 Mercedes. I had to narrow the front lips and flatten the rears plus form the contour so that it matches the factory lines. Plus a bunch of shrinker/ stretcher work and sectioning to adjust the radius.

Had a good time at GoodGuys. Got 4th in a tight 4 way battle for street machine. Made it into the shootout and got knocked out first round. At least I put in a good showing and made the winner work for it. It was a quick clean run but he got me by about 3 tenths.

Boy those flares really blend in and fit the car. When painted probably won’t be noticeable without parking beside a stocker. Look great Keith

Stellar work as always man.

I friggin love this car and what you are doing.

Thanks Sean, not as fast as you but I think I have a little more attention to detail. You get out and wheel more though so I think you win.

I don't think I shared my dyno pull. It sounded absoultly amazing, then the numbers came up and it was a little disapointing. Only 318hp and 300ft-lb at the tire. It was about 98 degrees and I only had 28 deg timing. Solid roller and 9.7:1 with Arco 91 octane. It feels better and runs cooler at 34 degrees.

Man I've got a new favourite car! Great work it's beyond cool...
