I am currently using 30mm spacer, I may try to take that down to a 25mm or even 22mm and see where things sit

Re: A good way to waste my paycheques

I finished welding in extra steel into the engine bay for added strength, primarily around the steering rack mount points, the sprayed the entire engine bay in Ming, still need to clearcoat and sand, but I am almost ready to put the motor in and finish up the wiring

Thanks Kyle, it has been sheer willing it to happen that got me this far.

Re: A good way to waste my paycheques

I appreciate your honesty Ryan, but I don't think you read the post I made about doing a custom widebody, in my opinion the 4.2 fenders leave a lot to be desired in the way if clearance. I have the fenders pulled for now, and when the body panel fabricator gets his water jet set up, we are going to do a real widebody, 3-4" per side, then I can run some 305's

Do you just use a fender roller?

Re: A good way to waste my paycheques

I actually used 2.5" 321 pipe, I used a roller to smooth it out at the very end
