Default Different take on a Widebody

A different take on incorporating front and rear flares.

I'm still undecided on the rocker panel incorporated into the body work.....



Some really nice work-

Can't find anything I don't like about that. I even like the green paint, and I don't usually go for green.

I like it but the flares are wee bit too big.

Hey Rick -I'm not a big fan of green either- but it works well on this car!

For those doing LS swaps- look closely at the radiator-

A neat setup as it takes into account for both the cold air intake and the steam ports.

Called "Rambo" it has been posted on pro-touring and lateral-g's website by the wheel company.
I like and I'm not a green guy either. A little different on the flares but it works.

That's what I call a wide-body. Love the color too.

Edit - after looking at it closely I love the way the rear flares are taken into the back of the door. Very nice work.
