Hoping to make the next POC Willow event with the body work James is talking about on my project car.
Hopefully we can get James to bring out his Monster as well.

Carmine rises from the ashes of the Phoenix and how ironic is that geographically?...

RS quarters are the way to go but to fit the 13" wheel in the back with the 31/71/18 tire, you will need to tub the rear quarters quite a bit......we did this with our GT2 Cup and 2008 WC Cup cars. This will enable you to lower the car to the proper ride height as well.

We added 2" flares to the car (bending /stretching metal) and 2" wider outers on the wheels so we did not need to add more room on the inboard side which you may need to do with normal RS quarters. But some banging was needed to get the car low enough with the RSR 710 tall tires, we're still not QUITE there yet. RSR suspension would really help but it's a lot of money...
