I basically used two fenders per fender, and two quarter panel skins, per side and I cut the original one, then put the overlay skin on, and "pinched" it in the middle and pushed it out that way, then just welded it together

Looks like you woulda easily passed Gaetano and Greg a few times if in the same group.

What are the details on the 358?

Its an old cup motor. I bought it blown up and just got it rebuilt, obviously in the picture the motor isnt assembled but I am just using it for mock up..

Its got yates C3 heads, kryptonite crank, carrillo rods, je pistons, 5 stage dry sump. I figure it should be pretty nuts having about 2x the horsepower. It was fun with my 289, but I just want to take it to the next level.

Thanks!

Trying to get some structure up front, I need visualization! Not good enough to just design it all in CAD and everything works...

I am working on the front motor plate, hopefully I will get it cut it soon. I'd like to get the location of the engine figured out. It is pretty close, my precision wheel cart may be a bit low though...... It will probly come up at least an inch.

Next I plan on working on A arm geometry. I played with it a bit, havent got it quite figured out yet.

Welcome Brian. It will probably be difficult to find the wheels that you are needing with the width, diameter, backspace and 5/8 studs for the money you are wanting to spend. Please feel free to contact me if you decide to go down the road of " built to order" wheels. I am sure we can help get you what you need. Good luck with the build!
