Nope, I was talking about the one-off's. Sitting in their box they just aren't working for me... but again, I'll wait to see what the total package looks like!

Back to this awesome Mustang Mach 40 or whatever its called I have a customization question.

When you open the door, there is kind of critical clearance as it swings inside the front fender. I think this is especially pronounced on a car that has a distinct character line in the door like the Mustangs.

It might seem like a dumb question (and can probably only b answered by experimentation) but when you widen the doors like that, do you guys think that the hinges would need to be offset the same 2" off the body as well, to maintain the normal arc of the door ?

I've studied every picture on Eckert's site and none show the modified door without the front fender on, so I can't tell if they had to move the hinge.

They didn't answer my email but I don't blame them I wouldn't waste my time giving away secrets to fanboi emails either !
