Default Pics of the **** being removed

Here are a few new progress pics showing the fenders being removed to install the wide RS fenders. I am doing this so I can fit the Michelin RSR tires on the rear 310/710-18 on 12" rims.

The 3.8 build is done and we should be on the dyno soon.

Truly amazing. Everytime you post pictures, the car is always in pieces and going for transformation. Great project and keep the pictures coming.

Wow, this is the only type of "tuning" that I respect. Very nice and truly a great ongoing effort.

Is this really the process you wanted for whatever reason, though? Wouldn´t it be easier and maybe cheaper considering the time invested to buy a Cup car, for example?

No. And why would you want it easier? I like how he is doing it; much more satisfying.
