It can be depending on how you go about it. You can add up to 2" of extra room with placement.

I edited my post, Vince. Can you pull some measurements on the 2" from some common point, like the body crease?

No need to be sorry, you're doing me the favor .

And I am not doing anything work related on Mother's Day, either. My wife will skin me alive.

Thanks, the pics will help quite a bit.

My Firebird/ Trans am is 74" wide from the outside of the flares in the center of the wheel opening. I have stock dented quarter panels but I stretched the flares 1" on each side.

I posted pictures on my build thread.https://lateral-g.net/forums/show...t=48439&page=2

You could easily do something similar and modify the trans am flares to fit the Camaro if that is the look you want.

Thanks man.

I think we're doing this:

Just have to get the time. Have a few other projects going, like finishing up the Black GMC 1500 and a Cummins K5 then I can focus on this.

I like that build but the wheels are too far inside for my taste. I like them out as far as possible.

Well, you know I can adjust the rears ... out

The front's getting Anvil fenders. They're on the way.
