lol naw didn't go wingless and shaved to add another wing. Good chance of an Origin roof wing though.

Thanks. The newer painted parts match very well. My paint isn't faded and I have a good painter. Thats all gonna depend on the car ect.

what are your tire sizes again? And what did you do to that little metal lip that hangs under the fender? If i go that low my tire gets all chewed up from that metal lip. Even after i beat it up to make it kinda flat.

I have 235/35 front and 255/35 rear. Right now I have that lip hammered flat and it will only make contact with the tire if I hit a huge dip. But I'm gonna take the fenders off and cut that whole lip off so it's not even there anymore.

I took the front fenders off a couple nights ago to cut some unwanted metal for more clearance. And also to relocate the air bag wires higher on both sides to be sure there will never be any rubbing.

Drivers side:





when putting the fenders back on we used some nicer dress up bolts rather than putting the factory bolts back in:



Passenger side:

I am also currently working on my 97 tails to get rid of the ugly chrome ring that I have never liked. Instead I'm painting that outside edge gloss black. I should have these finished later tonight. Some progress:

Thanks man, love working on this car. Even when its just little projects. I changed the fuel filter last week as well. Also going to buy a new distributor cap and rotor tomorrow. Trying to keep current with all the maintenance too.
