Very nice work there! Narrowing the rails eh? I thought about doing that on my 40 but I didn't want to lose anymore interior/trunk room.Ryan

Unfortunately, it looks like I won't have a choice, unless I run the original axle (no chance) or get something so wide that the tires are going to hang out of the fenders like it's 1973.
I haven't measured, but there only seems to be about 8 inches from the frame rail to the outside edge of the wheel arch in the rear fender. I don't really like the idea of loosing trunk space, but with the humpback there's a little more room to play with, without giving up all my storage.
Ditto on the model kits! My best were lost when the Hobby Shop burned under suspicious circumstances....
How did you get hooked on cars?
