More pics from Doug. She's got some hips on her now!!

The vent shown is the cut out vent of the Shine Auto air dam. It is now smooth but I don't have any pictures yet. Next Doug will get the front fenders perfect then finish out the fender liners and then on to paint.

I think that it is turning out as perfect as I imagined.

The front fenders are 1.25" wider. The rear are 2" wider. I would like to get a 10" and 12" wheel to fit under the fender. That might be pushing it on the front. Maybe doing a 11.5" and a 9.5" will work. Or maybe a 12" and 9.5". Hell I don't know. I am getting custom wheels so the offset won't have to be a compromise.

I don't really know how the car will handle on the limit with a 2" stagger... much less a 2.5" stagger. I don't want this to be a understeer pig. Maybe I should just stuff as much tire under as I can and dial in the steering the best I can. Everything is just a starting point until it hits the road.

I plan on spending time at Hallett Motor Racing Circuit in north east Oklahoma with someone who can really help me set this car up. I won't have a hodge podge of parts that don't work together.
