Finally got a little step in a forward direction.. and damn it feels good!!!


Got some rims and tires finally and started to widen the little beast..

I'm pretty clueless when it comes to shaping sheet metal (in a constructive manner), but it appears to me that you widened the original sheet metal. Can you give me a quick explanation of how you did it? Just the nut shell version, not a full tutorial.

I just cut down behind the door jam, by the bumper and the inner wells out and just kind of pulled it all out by hand.

I had to pull the pillar in behind the door though as it wants to pull out when you stretch the quarter.

I love this project. Just came across it today. Can you tell us about the motor?

Very nicely done! That's gonna look really cool when it's done.

I'm pretty clueless too, but I would love to see the "full tutorial". More detail with pics on how you accomplished widening the fender would be most appreciated.

Well, I went back a few steps and then ahead again..
I decided to lower the body on the chassis another 3", cut the rear quarters off reshaped them and shortened the back end. and then cut what I had for the firewall apart, moved it all back and smoothed it out..

You did WHAT???? Were you bored or something???

Just kidding..... It looks great!

Now, about that totally-tubular early-Nova you worked on...... Where is that these days?

Keep up the great work, and keep us posted.
