Awesome looking build! But have you noticed that last pic? Trunk opening is crooked. What`s up with that?

I sure hope that is an optical illusion instead of an obstacle dillusion about to happen.

it sure looks off to me too !

yes this was noticed and taken care of. was a combo of miss aligened trunk drip rail and just sag from no bracing when it was a race car. a little re-welding and body work and all is good. new pictures will be up soon

[thetoystore]

well heres some updates on the excessive. pics in no order and will have more when finders are back on. finders turned out to be one hell of a headache but in all gained another 1.5 lower stance and lost no turning radious throw 90% of suspention travel. and they look cool




mock up free 6.0 will be used in another project tho. and stainless works headers

car looks great, good job on it, i like the mods you are doing to it.

[Jim Nilsen]

Those inner fenders look great and I can see the amount of work in them, man that is a lot of tacking and bending.

I really wanted to put my wiper motor in the same spot but chickened out because we get snow here sometimes in Sept. and sometimes I have been caught in it accidentaly and I thought the length and the bend it has to take to get there might have bent under the stress if someone other than myself thought they could clear an inch of snow off the windshield. Changing it is also a problem depending on the inner fender and how easy it is to get there.

Keep up the great work .

i have had thoughts about changing it but will buy a new one befor final assembly. i mean honestly have you ever had a wiper motor go out? i havent plus this car will probly never see rain

promised pics so here they are

alot of work went to get gaps perfect after the fenders were widened


alot of work went into the bumper to make it contour to the body and then to cup the quater to hug the bumper, gap is same width as the door gap on purpus


front bumper with custom mounts and shortend lost the tag recess and shped the cornors to fit the body perfect, again gap is same as doors



welded up the big ugly squares
high as she'll be




from ground to max lift is 8.5 in and ride height is 5.5 from ground
HUGE amounts of custom fab time went into these inner fenders,bag mounts,front hoops,and even had to redo the hood hinges

[thetoystore]

more work went into the core than anyone will even notice. shaved pinch weld on bottom widened opening 4in shaved all holes and made a new mount to work with bodydrop

inside of fender is smoth and perfect also

[thetoystore]

hated the cutouts on the hood so i had to shave the cowl

That look like an amazing amount of work, great details w/inner fenders.
