Got the fenders finish welded and ground, will start smearing mud tomorrow.

On the spindle, I started really thinking outside the box. Stopped at a buddy of mine's 4 wheel drive shop, dug through and found a 4x4 front spindle that looked like it would fit. My buddy Brian turned down the locating index to the Vette upright I.D. Stupid big, but if I made a hub to fit this, with the unibearing standoff, I think it would work.

Very interesting idea! :thumbsup:

Torquedork, and I have been collaborating on what to do with my quarter panels, this what we have come up with. Reshape the rear window opening a bit, and install an eyebrow over the wheel opening. Love the way he was able to C14 wheels in gold on the thing, the dude is a real artist with a computer. What do you think?

I think it looks good, Ron!

I was trying to waste time avoiding pulling an engine on a GTO. LOL

Here's basically where I started showing "Before" and "After" adding the hump accent to the 1/4 panel and raising the bottom of the 1/4 window to make it all blend. Helps to balance the look front to back.

I know I have said it 100 times in my life, man I hate body work. At least the weather is nice, and I can do it outside.
