It's been nearly a life long dream to have a GT. I've got an absolutely great car and with the exception of a narrow body, I'd be content. So, I'll add some more content later but the basic question is how do I go wide?

"If you do a search here there is a way to do this just banging it out by hanging a big purse filled with sand over the fender.
No cutting needed." Mark, it is subtle in these photos but I can tell you that it's not practical to try to "beat out" the fenders as much as they are. It really does take adding some metal to do it right. I have been tempted to go back and try to flare the front somewhat just by stretching the metal but I haven't yet. Subtle flares on the front as well would be nice. |
