    I see that, thank you!

    Does anyone know of a thread where the username "Thack" talks about his wheel well mods?

    There are some threads about his cars but I don't remember seeing any info on the mod. I'm in the process myself, fronts are pretty easy but the rear will be a challenge due to the wheel house. There is a thread in the tech section if I remember right.

    Thanks! Rmiller. Yea your pics have helped me also. So in the front, do you trim any of the valence? Or just the Fender?
    Also, did you save your fender lip and re weld it back on, or just cut out and roll a small lip after you removed all you wanted to remove?
    Thanks!

    If you've got a guy that can roll beads like these, go for it! I just got done rolling beads on the inner fenders for my '63 Rambler project using a Woodward Fab roller, it wasn't fun. They don't track straight and the metal warps all to h%ll and back...

    I will need to trim the valance when I get back at it. On the front I did trim the lip and re-weld it to the fender, seemed easier at the time but I could have done it a little different had I thought about it first. I ended up doing a lot of fitting that could probably be avoided so I'll actually take some time to think before I dive into the rears!

    So I'm ready to do this. I removed the original shock tower suspension and I'm about to add those panels that I took to a local shop to be added those nice details on it. Very excited for this. I will post some pics here when I done.

    Exactly what are you doing for front suspension? You are going to make extra work for yourself if you're not careful. I'd get the suspension in first, and THEN worry about the inner panels at that point. You want as much room as you can get when doing the front suspension. When all of that is welded, and pieces are bolted up in place, THEN you can worry about making it pretty. Just my .02...

    Yes Carnut's is the blue car. I've talked to him. I'm referring to the yellow car!

    Yes I was reffering to the yellow car. My bad, I should have been more specific!
