Started fabbing the fenders when I got home from work tonight.Although I know there is about 6" to cover up,I'm still amazed how big the bulges are.Got the back half of the passanger sided tacked together.What do you think?tToo crazy looking?

Finished roughing in the passenger side fender last night,when I walked out tonight and looked at all the different peices stitched on to this one body.I usually don't name my cars,but this thing just looked like Frankenstien or Frankenstang.The Vette wheels allow me to put the sheet metal right there on the tires{love the look}.Ron

I knew I wasn't going to be able to use factory hinges,and front portion of the cage is landing right where the hinges would be.I figured I'd hinge the hood in reverse,but didn't realize how hard it would be.The nose of the car is so far past the pivot point, the hinges had to lift up before they pivot out.Took a whole day to calculate and fab some mock ups.Ron

Very awesome build , but $5,000 is an unrealistic amount . But maybe you know something I don’t lol. Going to be nice when done either way!

Amazing job. Especially considering it started with a $400 car!
