Remove the asymmetric graphics on the hood and that is solid!

There are definitely a few nice cars in this thread but most of them are total nightmares.

Dumb question, but with this car:
Why wouldn't you continue the front fender width on to the back fender in the area of the doors? Wouldn't you save some drag in wind resistance/turbulence?Scot

Totally uneducated guess, but two reasons I could think of would be that the doors would be non-functional, and the 1/4 openings could then be used for brake ducting and diff coolers.

If I remember correctly, most series required the stock doors and roof to try to limit things. As you can see, it didn't work out well. Also the side panels create downforce, and they commonly ran radiators in the back, if rules permitted, to get better balance.

Ill confirm that Benjamin...the doors had to be stock, and they did put radiators and/or oil coolers in the back. If you look at 935 Porsches youll see that the doors, roof and windshiled are all stock 911 and everything else is tube frame/composite.

Some of you have seen my Camaro. We did a widebody and a flare stretch to make the car nearly 8 inches wider. That's over a half foot wider than stock.

A few reasons. If I remember the rules stated that the doors had to be stock shape. Fenders were an open area for wider tires. Also if you notice the rear for the front fenders allows the air from under the fender and hood out. Originally Posted by Samckitt

No idea about bolt ons for a 2nd gen. But something I always considered was that if you were ok with something like the Capri above you could simply weld on fenders and quarters to the existing body just further out. Basically just moving everything except the doors out. Originally Posted by '78 Protouring

The outer lip is made of flat steel(3/4 wide x0,150 thick),and the rest is 1mm steel plate.
Removed all the steel,to make room for tires and wheels..its one thing to make flares...and another thing to make use of them.
Inner wheel wells where widened too.

11 pages of awesome flared fenders & widebodies, and NOT 1 '70-'72 GM A-Body (Chevelle/GS/GTO/442/etc)?
Maybe I will be the first, then, when it's done...
a rendering would be cool to see the concept, but there's nothing like seeing the finished result in real life!
