Some clean work so far Danny. My door jams were rebuilt too, its worth it to do it right i still just wish i would have gotten some of those shortened knuckles before i did the body work so my front would have been lower. Now my wheel/tire sit on fender (and fender vent actually) so all i can do to go lower is add lip/splitter. Ah well!

Looking forward to your car being finished.

Thanks Adam...I wish these were available to us sooner as well, some of the OGs would probably still be around. But this build wouldn't be happening if it were not for the brave few like you that have taken this on before, proving that it is worth it in the end and not as frightening as one would imagine. I am so excited to see it done, I can hardly contain myself...

As requested...here are some more pics of the current progress. The rear 1/4 panels are close, but not 100%. They were "styled" for IA, and the car was a huge hit...even with the front fenders all cut up and welded to hold in place. Comments were hilarious both days...lots of props for being able to share the vision and the metal work, and lots of people that had no idea what was going on.

I am really happy with the way the wheels, lugs, and brakes all look together...the custom finish on the faces looks insane in the sun, and the red on the Volk lugs ties in the Brembos nicely. Very, very happy.

Wish I could have made it out there to see this in-person; just not any additional time in the books when trying to sell a house! LOL!

Me too! LOL...saw pics of your surface on IG, and it is looking great. I hope that we get my ride height dialed in so I can rival you in some of those rolling shots

Finally getting back to work on this...rear doors are now being cut and pulled to match the widening of the body in the 1/4 panel, and the added flaring as well.

Here you can see how much the door skin was widened...true all metal wide body.

Haven't updated in a while...got a new job and been working hard on things for Lexotic. The end is getting very close, just need to finish deciding on what to do with the rear bumper to change things up a bit and then paint.
