Me too, I ended up going the opposite way with it.

I had a few floating around here....well the mock up picture was taken 5 years ago and it sucks. I'll have to make a project thread since we have started working on it again. Just got it back from the media blasters and should have the sheet metal back on it in April. Stretched 1 1/2" using new quarters fitting 315's on 11" wide rims and a 5 1/2" back space.

I figured I would see if it would work since I have to put new quarters on it anyways. Plus narrowing the frame and mini tubs is very time consuming job. Body sits on 1/2" spacers and the front is "Z"ed 1 1/2" up.

Vince,
Love the stance. That thing is low. What are you running for suspension? Coilovers or Bags?
So my understanding is that you are stetching the wheel openings 1-1/2"?

Hope to get set up with coil overs with in house custom mounts. The quarters are stretched 1 1/2" on each side over stock. Looks very subtle. At least it did when we did the mock up. We will see how it looks with paint on it.

I might take a bit out of the frame since its off anyways for boxing and the z mod.
