Car is starting to show its basic shape, with all the wheelbase, and length changes. I still think the front end needs a little more rake, but I won't know till I get the front bumper hung. I do think its an improvement over the original rambler design.

Ron this is turning out to be one bad SOB! Looks great So what are the plans for the wheel openings? Are you going for a wide body look or nice flare job?

The front wheels are cambered in pretty good in its current state, and the tires are still rubbing. The flairs are going to be a fair amount bigger then I was hoping, but I still think you can do nothing but improve this body,LOL. I will finish the front then work on the rear, I'm kinda liking it though.

So it obviously sounds like your going to have to stretch for wheel room. I really like the look of the existing front wheel flares. Wonder what it would look like if you pulled them out and filled in behind them...
Did the original rear flares match the fronts?

That was the original flare, just cut and relocated, unfortunatly it doesn't have the correct shape if I am going to go big on the flare. I have to put the camber where it belongs, and start cutting.
