Default @Big_kuntry_camber wide body build

What's up guys I'm a little far along to start a fresh build thread but with a request I will. So I live in middle tennessee in a small country town and I'm building a bippu styled gs300. So far I have 18×12 -6 front and 18×13 -30 work vskfs built by vr wheels, broadway static coilovers 60k spring rates front and rear, tc sportline rear upper control arms, Megan racing toe arms, Megan racing traction arms, custom built rear lower control arms, serialnine front upper control arms, right now running -20 rear and -9 degrees camber front, I'm going to try to match -20° on all four corners, the exhaust is actually the old blast pipes from luis vivas 350z. When I started this I had no clue about body work at all so thisil is my first attempt but here you go here are some pictures of when I first started until now. (Keep in mind im doing all work myself in my driveway not even a garage)I will try to keep this thread updated as I progress

Do you plan on welding a new inner well? Almost like a mini tub

This pic is hard to see but something like this

I plan on it but that will be later down the road, the body is radiused 2 inches so I have to cut a lot more of the inner out and build from scratch

Shaping fender flares is such a pain. Glad to see people willing to take the time and do it right

Finished my front bumper finally, filled in plate holes, molded lip, and molded sidemarkers in, it was a lot of sanding but I'm happy with the outcome, also got the rear quarter completely shaped, just some high grit finish sanding left to do on it
