Thanks Man!

Alittle more progress on the body work:











Basically the initial cuts are made on the front and back fenders on the passenger side. Now time for trimming and fitting to get them in just the right location.

 

some new fun going on:

Rear quarter cut out:




New quarter pulled and fitted ready for welding:




And alittle bit more work on the front pocket fender(excuse the instacrap pic):

 

wow very nice progress. car looks great.

 

Thanks man! Still have a long way to go but it's getting there..

 

Can't wait to see it in the spring

 

Man that will look nice. This is a lot of work, how much would this much body work cost?

 

Me too!

Thanks, and ya its a ton of work. The body work isn't cheap but its being done the right way which I'm a huge believer in..

Another little update, the passenger rear quarter got welded on, and ground down:





Next is the passenger front fender, which will follow the same process: double cut, weld, and grinding. Also boxing in the pocket.

 

Very nice bud! Keep it going!

Chris

 

Looks great, very nice progress, I can't wait to see the finally result.

 

Subd and great job!!

 

Wow this is a pretty spectacular build. Congrats and good luck. Sub'd.

 

Thanks for all the love guys, here's alittle update on the front: pocket has been set, upper and lower close outs have been tacked on. Now just have to pull the fender off to weld it up and cut away any of the old fender that's hiding underneath.

 

Time for another update! Passenger side has been fully welded, scudding the wheel houses and the block outs on the front fender! Finally get to start some action on the driver side







The last picture really gives you an idea of how much wider the car is. I appreciate all input so lets hear what you guys have to say!

 

this project has so much win, sub'd. on another note, what gains did you see with the tomei headers? Im on the fence about getting a complete expreme set up(headers and y back exhaust).

 

Honestly cant tell you. Butt dyno shows gains but I've never had the car dynoed (seeing the car is all bolt ons and I just got a uprev flash) Thanks for the kind words!

 

I think you and that shop just missed a great opportunity to make flares....

When you told me through pm....didn't even phase me to mention that to you ...

I'm happy to see things moving along as always but I'm crying inside...

 

Looking good so far.

 

Honestly I'm really happy we didn't make a flare kit. After seeing bensopras kit confirmed my thought. I really like that its all metal and welded on. I know there would be a market for them for sure, but at the end of the day the cost of actually designing and manufacturing a flare kit would have been very expensive. Maybe if I get enough interest, I can mold the front fender and make them out of fiberglass or carbon as just a full replacement panel, only problem is the my front fenders are ~40mm wider than stock

Thank you sir

 

You're right...I talk as if I have a parts factory in my back yard

Nice progress! Can't wait to see finished product
