I'm new to this forum - my name is Pat Donahue.
My brothers and I built a 1969 Sunoco Camaro tribute car several years ago.
I own a restoration business in El Cajon, CA, and we have repeatedly been asked how we built our wide body quarter panels and fenders. We have just completed making molds for both of these. We're still working on cost and price, and would like to know if there is any interest out there for these items. If so, can you please let me know? Here are some pictures of the camaro that we built and still own. Pictures of the finished parts will follow soon. Thanks, Pat47767

Interested in hearing more about them.
1. Are they fiberglass or steel? The "mold" statement makes me think fiberglass?
2. What max width tire fits underneath them, using the stock inner tubs on the rear?
3. Do they come with extended outer wheelhousings to reach the wider sections?

Nice first post Sandman and welcome to the site. Just MHO, but I think you would get more play on your product if you put some 18s or 18/19 wheel combos on the car to show how it would sit. This site loves fat bottoms and the visual of vintage racers, but tends to cater more along the look of modern PT. Also, more info as 9Ball requested above would help.
I do wish you luck and hope you bring your product to market!

I think the front fenders could be popular. As Ron said, this community loves 18" wheels, with wide tires up front. For those running their cars on the track, these fenders could be very tempting it they allowed for a 295-305 tire up front.
BTW, do you ever take the car down to the El Cajon cruise night on Wednesdays? I'd love to see it, and I could probably get an idea of how wide a tire would fit.
welcome aboard the site,
Matt

In addition the fronts look fine but the rear bubbles out to sharp. Keep in mind this is a PT site and a more modern approach is excepted amongst most of us.

Thank for all the input guys .To andwer your questions.
They will be fiberglass
Right now we have 295/50/15 rear and 265/50/15 up front
Extended wheel housing can be fabricated from sheet metal pretty easy
And yes i have taken it to EC car show but after molds we are repainting
should be done in a couple of weeks Thanks Pat
