Project: Ballin' on a budget

Do they steer without hitting other areas? If so, just cut. You won't miss the sheetmetal. Fitting such huge tires is all about hammers and angle grinders, and it's worth it. Spacers are all about messing up the steering and adding scrub . . .

While I agree, the metal is part of the curve and may look silly if I just lob it off.

Don’t forget about alignment. Could you dial in a tiny bit less caster and see if that helps?

I love your wheel and tire choice BTW!

I can give that a try, thanks!

I've been having issues getting the car to run and stay running. Thinking I had the tune all screwed up I had a buddy come down to help me out on it. After a couple hours of keyboard clicking and head scratching we concluded that I had a vacuum leak somewhere. So loaded with regret of having to remove everything to pull the intake I ordered some fresh gaskets and set to work. I think I found my leak before getting very far in. The elbow for the throttle body, when removed tore the gasket in a weird manner that made me look further into it. Turns out the flange had a MASSIVE low spot, so I flat filed it with a course file the stuck some 80 grit on a 2x4 and got to sanding. Came out pretty good, this time though I went with some RTV sealant instead of a paper gasket. I also got a new Innovative LC-2 wideband since the LC-1 I have isn't working. ALS, turns out my brand new MSD coil is junk. I stuck an OEM type coil off of my fox and it started running better, so I ordered a basic $16 coil. So hopefully this fixes the issues I've been having.

Before right after I drug the flat file across it a couple times

I'd probably use Permatrx Aviation sealer on both sides of the gasket.

I decided to build my own front flares, should I do small rear flares?

Those front fender flares look great. Would you be able to match it on the rear?

Use the tags.

Pics work now. I like the flares, but I'd 100% vote for matching ones in the rear.

[Martin71RS]

flares are cool, but will be perfect when you make some matching ones in the rear

Killer, you going to Pate Swap meet in April?
I’ll be up there, and would LOVE to stop by and see your car.
I have 9000 questions.
Your car is such an inspiration to me.
