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 !

Preston, I do not think you have to modify the hinges as long as the fender is moded accordingly. Not that I have done this myself but I have a buddy that used to do a lot of ricers and did ths all the time and I know for a fact that he didn't change anything to the hinges or to the pillar. The inside of te fender area has to be moded for sure but maybe Roger will chime in as he HAS done this before!

68 Charger is one of my favorites

That mustang is one of the sickest builds I have ever seen. I'm now making plans to go, ( dumb )question Is there going to be any auto crossing on sema grounds and as far as optima can any one attend ( to watch )?

#1 -- You can't just go and buy a ticket to get in... You must be a part of the industry - have a company that is in the industry or somehow be connected.

#2 -- There is no auto crossing on SEMA grounds -- there are some drifting demonstrations done by pros such as Ken Block

#3 -- You have to buy a ticket to the OUSCI... Go to Optima Battery website and pay to get one. Then you have to get to and from the track in Pahrump (40 some miles or so from Las Vegas). Anyone that has paid for a ticket (limited!) can go to OUSCI.
