I'm so confused what your trying to get at, at the moment.

[SLO-030]

Good to see you sorted it out Chris.

 

don't wanna put you down or anything, but seeing the extent you went with the other body work. The flares seem a bit agricultural?

 

Something like this maybe?

 

Either way, gets the job done :yes:

[iwontarolla]

i was thinking about like that but its so much more work and i kinda want it done in the next 2 weeks. plus i actually kinda like it after i bog it and all that it shouldn't look that agricultural.

[Spencer[RL]]

What SLO said!!!

 

You got a good looking car! don't ruin it with some shardy bodywork...

[iwontarolla]

for now it will do its not that hard to fit it and do it so its round and all that. i actually kinda like it see how it looks after its been bogged. i like to try new and different things this was one of them

[FOOMAN]

After staring at it intensely for a couple minutes and trying to imagine what it could look like, I kinda like it. It's different and adds a different style to it. Guess we'll see once there's a photo of it all bogged up :y:

[zacharyo]

i like it :) !

[iwontarolla]

haven't really had the time to work on this, daily driver popped a head gasket just when i could actually start work on this again. i have finally welded a patch in the roof so there's no more holes. haven't smoothed the welds yet but it looks so much better now. also got parts coming in soon. chrome bar, kamei lip, tires, nardi steering wheel, retro gauges and tires. hopefully have this back on the road in the next month or so.

[iwontarolla]

pulled my extractors off today for a clean and a coat of paint in 650 degree 3m paint cast iron colour. also welded a flange on came up good. going to re do my guards once i get tires going to go looking some time next week suggestions?
