I like wings too Preston. We should have some, and some beer, and talk about cars

The rear quarters are shaping up nicely Ron, great work! Interesting, my Javelin is also going to be at 73" wide for track width, although looks like your car will be a lot lower than mine. I am shooting for 4.5 - 5" at the firewall to the new frame. I am not sure how I am going to do the fenders yet. At least seeing your car shows me some of the tire coverage issues I will be facing but, I will have plenty of time to figure it out before I get into sheet metal work.

Thanks,
Jon

You're an inspiration Ron, I've been sneakily watching your build for quite a while now. I'm working on a '73 Challenger with a C5 corvette rearend (and V10 up front). I've almost had myself convinced I needed to narrow the suspension mount points and shorten the axles, but these new updates are inspiring me to keep with my original plan to widen the rear quarters ~3" per side. The challengers have a sharp body line and it's gonna be difficult for me to get it to look right, but its only sheetmetal! Keep up the good work!

Unfortunately I can't put big tars on the car again until the parts are back from the glass guy. The welded edges for the mold hit the big tars
