We were having problems fitting 14" rotors in to 15" wheels so the old Cragars had to go.:lol:

We have made some great progress in the past week on the car. Passenger side quarter has been installed and modified to fit. We widened the mini-tubs and finished the install. Started on to the driver side quarter and fitment. Also fit the front end and completed the driver side inner fender.

We started by fitting the passenger side quarter and noticed that we could drive a truck between it and the door.

The latch pillar portion was cut off the main quarter and the quarter was then fit where it needed to go. A filler strip added to bridge the needed space.

Tacked in place. The door still needs some attention to finish getting the gap 100% correct.

Final welded and metal finished

A taller tire and lower ride height in the rear didn't give enough clearance with the standard deep tubs. The tubs were split and widened to allow for the 335 20" PS2's in the back.

Cleaned up the flange on the inner fender and extended it over the upper shock mount and control arm.
