Not sure if anyone took notice, but check out the quality of the install of those inner wheel tubs. They sit flush with the frame rails & allow for operational trunk hinges..These will now accomodate a 14X32, easy, without moving frame rails & still retain the "factory" appearance in the trunk. It's a look these cars just have, that I believe puts the nasty into the term attitude.

I am doing a clone right now and I was wanting to do something like this with the inner wheel tubs. I had heard that the originals were hammered flush to the frame. Is this correct? Could you possibly send me some info or pics on how you did yours? They look great!

No they were not hammered flush with frame rails from Hurst. They opened the outer quarter openings & installed offset spring hangers, I believe 3/4".
Mine are cut down the center, placed against the frame rail & the gap filled with sheet metal

Thanks for the info on that. What shade is the red you are using? Is it a original color?
