Looking good! That quarter looks factory. It will cause a lot of head scratching as people will look at it and say its different but how? And how did you fit those tires?

Default Shifter tunnel plates

Here are some plates that we machined last week for the shifter.. The transmission tunnel is almost done.. but need these pcs to complete it..
The thin steel ring will be welded to the tunnel & the aluminum plate will give it access thru the top to remove the shifter when tranny needs to removed...

Cris, Was the fender strech this way vs. the way it was on TrackRat a better way to go? It almost seems ashame to cut up and toss out good factory qtrs .

This stretch is totally different from what we did to Track Rat... One of the things I did not like from when we started doing this body modifcation was that it was rasing the body line & the wheel well opening... The way it is done on this car it less noticable that the qtr was widen up..

This car needed both qtrs replaced.. plus one of the reason I got the project was because the customer wanted all four corners blown out..

Cris,

Do you think this is as wide as you'll mod any future builds?

Thanks for explain . I was hoping to do the qtr./fender stretch on my 67', BUT I think my qtrs. are in good condition so was hoping to use the orginals. Well I'll cross that bridge when I can afford it, Thanks for the info.
