Subscribed. Amazing metal work. Really really nice. I see you've got a side splitter in the rendering, what are your plans there? I'll be doing something similar with my 80Z.

I'm in that weird zone were every desired action has some roadblock because something else should be done first and truthfully I didn't do a good job of predicting this so I'm waiting for parts (fiberglass hood and deck lid). I really need both to move forward with confidence on the significant changes to the rear end/bumper area as well as the front spoiler.

Thus I will likely do the side skirts/splitter next. My plan is bend up a new side skirt that runs the entire length (means modifying the front fender). My plan is to basically follow the second to last body line and mostly just continue that line down which mostly just eliminates that complete roll under of the factory side skirt. Then I will make an aluminum side splitter that bolts to the new side skirt and sticks out about 1-2". I will include some pictures next week, would appreciate your input!!

Nice job as usual. I'm planning to do something similar with mine for more exhaust clearance. Thanks for posting the detailed pics.

Looks great. I thought about doing that as well but decided I'd make slim mufflers instead. I'm only running 2.5" exhaust so I don't need a thick muffler. That and I don't have the equipment to make it as pretty as you did. Keep up the good work!
