i wish that the flaring on the fenders were more noticeable.
would like to see some pics where the rear bumper meets the rear fender or 1/4 panel. I can see that it doesnt match perfectly, but would like to see how much is off.
I know its because the bumper is made of plastic.

Overall great job with the car. IMO can't say that about most cars here.

Many had praised the paint job and nice subtle flair/wide body work. But no one asked the question yet.

No offense Joe, I know you were the mastermind, but you gotta give a shoutout/credit to the guys who made it happen for you. Their turn to shine on this forum.

Who did the paint job and custom body work?

Thanks Mr. Dexterr, finally someone asked about who make this concept happen. Im here proudly introduce everyone; the master-hand of this car "Brian Daniel", Chef master of Petaluma Auto Body. Brian is a real lurker, he made many show classic hot rods many of them have been on the magazine. Indeed, Brain doesn't mention of his work often. Brian just a family guy who love of what he's doing and pro at it. Eveyone, who have been looking for custom job like my, consult with "Brain Daniel " Master Chef of Petaluma Auto Body. Detail question, feel free to ask me.

That's not flat black, more like matte or satin, but regardless, it looks pretty good (thank you for not blacking out every bit of your car).

I am not into matte finished cars but the choice of wheels makes this come together. The blue windows work really well. Good work.

Thanks for everyone's comments, I got some pics of my fender before and after..

Before:

I used to have 5zigen ZR 18/8.5(9.5)/+35, you can see how much the wheel meet the fender.




After:
Flare fender with old wheel set up. You can see the fender got wider.








Also, i got some with Weds.

see the red dots, that is where the stock fender landed.!!!






Just got them, not complete yet.
