fender mods for tire clearance. 315/60 content

[speeding-g60]

needed some room for tires. so i stretched the rear wheel arches 4" towards the front. the front end will be stretched completely (hood, fenders, etc ) the same 4".

done all of this myself with some pretty good guidance from an excellent chassis builder.







testing a 32" x 14" wide on a 14" wide wheel as this is the size i will probably run when i learn to drive this thing.





both sides done and cut. only driver side reassembled.









putting 3/4" backing strip in so we have something to weld to. sheared all of these strips. and the complicated section at the body moulding area, i used factory material there and split it .





hand formed the filler plate.







as he tacks these spots, he pulls the body work out and then tacks it. to keep its shape and prevent warpage. its not completed yet but it is visually good for clearance. and this is the wheel/tire i will use for the street. 315/60-15 on a 12" wide wheel, aka 30 tall by 13 wide. these are my training wheels so to speak. and YES it will be titled and reg'd and streetable.







then a trial fit with the side skirts. gonna be sorta low there

this is the last. high as a kite now and no worky for months into the future. they will work on it though now that i get to pay him haha

but yeah i just a little bit ago turned the pump up to 6 (on scale of 2 to 14) as it has awoken and it is pissed. ml/hr of whatever is in there starts with R and ends in Caine, its delivered via a tube going a couple inches deep into the neck. i get to pull it out in a couple days haha.









this was about an hour after surgery, was pretty freakin high right here.

If your insurance paid for the icebox, be sure to keep it. Should plug right in to a cool shirt. (or with some very simple changes anyway depending on MFR)
