I thought you were just cutting the area out around the light, instead you cut the fender and moved it to fit the light?

Brian, will you have to modify the bottoms of the fenders where they meet the skirts as well? I was under the impression that the amuse fenders could only mate with the amuse skirts...

My weak 18x9+5 and 19x10-5 but how offset works you can an 11 or 12 width wheel to have a crazy dish effect! My rear lip/dish is 4.5 or something like that I know you can achieve something phenomal!

front flares will need slight trimming to go along with teh amuse fender shapes of course.. and the front flare bumper section needs to have the bumper built up under it to fill in a gap ( since its not an oem bumper this was made for).. rear bumper diffusers are bent to shape and located over the rear turns.. will need to fill the hole in slightly still.. and were going to build up the slots below the license palte area a bit since they thinned out so much when neatening up the holes.. .but thats all last minute stuff tho.

meaty fit? isnt going to sit flush when the cars dumped.. they are going to sink at the last moment either way unless i run a wheel w poke and stretch.. not really my thing... but Ill surely order a set of wheels w that kind of fit for next year. I do ahve room to space each out a bit still though, that measuring is in the process now

the front fender work is turning out killer. These things fit together great and could survive artillery shelling.

the bottom of the fang i guess you could call it is being trimmed and reshaped ever so slightly so as not to overhang..

wing is coming off this week.. Al is taking it for his Stardast build in Canada.
Talking w Mastermind NA about possible air freight quotes for the wing vs waiting another month for the container ship..


Next week, hood and roof go to the shop, new windsheild.. and the JP Type Z bumper gets fitted up as a swap in as well.
