Well....it'll blend in. The guys over at Dutchboys have done this a few times and I'm pretty much following their lead. It will tuck under the fender a bit.

It actually happened just before paint, but yeah a little project creep. Pretty sure that's the biggest evil with any project and time is our enemy. Waiting for something to be finished usually gives a person to much time to look into options. Or something new comes out. The longer the wait...the bigger the creep.

I've never really had a "plan" laid out for this. Seriously it's all

shooting from the hip. The plan, if you could call it that, was originally to do a suspension/LS swap, add some wheels and and go have fun.

One could say that the entire build has been project creep. Hey....so far it's working out pretty good. I know there will be a few things, but I'm not building a 2.5 million Camaro to try and win SMOY.

Looking more and more like a car again everyday! Keep up the good work Jim!!

Just checking the gaps was the message I got on these.

Thanks for looking.

Those stainless steel looking bolts that connect the front fender to the body, where did you purchase those from?? wow

A buddy had some made for a build he is doing and was nice enough to do some for me. The bolts are ARP. It's the washers that are custom. Wish I had 10 sets. Everyone seems to want them.

At the rate it's going, I would think someone would do a pre-sale and run a batch.

Funny story about Divers

Tyler Barmore was working for Tim setting up his new place in town and needed buying power for some sheet metal ducting, I got the call and was able to help them both out. Tim and his wife are some of the nicest people I've met and the Notchead products are pretty dang cool, really like how clean the line clamps are.
