We had to stretch the rear quarters to accomodate the 14.5x32x15 Mickey Thompson slicks [ddd
Look at how thick the bondo is on the fender flare that someone extended :rolleyes:

Rocket surgery at its finest! [cl

Is that an Alston "kit", OI? Are you going to cage it?

.

Yes it is an Alston kit with Speedway brake caliper brackets.
Yes we have the cage in it I'll post pics today.
Here's the quarter tig welded back in.

Didn't realize I had no pics of the cage so went and took some :eek:
This is a 10 point cage. I still have to put the door bars in with hinges and pins.
I'll put bars in the engine compartment which will make it a 14 point.

It sounds and looks a lot like a race car. [ddd

Great work OI! I know the customer is always right {as long as he's paying the bill} but a Gremlin?? That's kinda like putting 40 or 50 thousand dollars in a Ford Pinto.[S[S:eek::eek:
