Coming along! Just noting the variations in your frame mods. I didn't need to cut the right skin back as much to get clearance off the pulley. Your frame kit is quite different than the version I have - curious if it's an older gen?
I'm wondering if the diffferences are all due to the subframe kit - perhaps your version set the drivetrain 1/2"-3/4" further to the right, I think that would explain it.
I completely agree, it looks much cleaner without it.I removed the reveal along the front fender and the door as I didn't like how it flowed into the side scoop. I think it looks much better
How did you go about removing the reveal from the doors?
Both of you did a nice job. I'd hate to tackle removing all of the recessed reveal on a stock body, it's a lot of metal work and plenty of opportunity to cause warpage or other problems. I'd also like to see the "V" recess in the middle of the hood go away on mine.For the doors I had a bodyman do those for me - he just welded in a slightly curved panel. For the reveal in the front fenders (these are fibreglass) I put epoxied in a thin piece of blue construction foam and covered that with an epoxy/glass bubbles mix. I cut a little metal template that matched the curve of the doors and used that to get the curve right on the fenders
I don't recall the offset, the wheels are 4 x 100 so I used an adapter which spaced them out 1".Hi Great looking Body kit I Bought it in December after finding the Guy with the original moulds, In the process of repairing the chassis new floor pans and welding up holes. love the wheels what offset (ET) are they and did you need spacers front and back?
