Default Fat Bottom Camaros

Lately I have been widen Camaros to give them a more aggressive look & tire room for bigger tires without mini-tubing, we are able to pull about 2 inches per side.. Going back to Trans Am days of flaring.. We have done this on67,68,69 & 70's Camaros.. Each have been different processes but are narrowing it down to what you see in the pics..

I agree with Scott here Chris.
Looks very interesting. Would love to see a completed picture. I'm sure it looks great.

Looks hot!

Just curious, how much labor/time is involved with this?

We did this on my 70 Z28! The second gen is has proven to be a challenge cause the door opening is very close to the wheel opening & it causes the lines to pull up.. On my 70 we have it pulled 1 inch on one side & 2 inches on the other side.. We were able to fit a 335 with the 2 inch pull Post pics tomorrow!
