Congratulations, very nice project!

How much wider as normal are your fenders? Especially the ones on the rear look huge :-)

I like your car. Of course I'm one of those who don't do stock and like to put some personality into mine. I also have those Team III wheels, mine are 17 X 8. I like the 8 spoke look, have them on my Classic Mini and my 72 Porsche 911.

At first I thought you where going to put that Hemi in your Vette, then I went back thru the pics and see it's in the Cuda. Here's a couple pics of mine.

Tight fit


Look close and you can see the little ducktail

I like it a LOT! Well done, and great colors, along with all the other mods. Looks right out of the early '70's, IMO.........

I'm guessing that 5 years was feeling like forever but the results speak very loud for themselves. Great job! Great look!

soooo the rear clip is 67 and the front clip is 66????........

Nose and tail are both 65 with wide fenders. Added 67 back up lights for the back up camera when I did the tail light treatment.
