If I go any wider, I'd have to make a wide body. All I have left on the wheel wells are the quarter panel skins. Had to cut the rest off. As far as lowering more, I'm thinking air ride. I dont wanna bounce down the road. I am 4 inches off the ground now, and it's difficult to clear a lot of the drive ways here. Some establishments I started avoiding all together, for the sake of keeping my bumper lol

 

The calipers were painted a couple years ago, when all I had was the wheels and drop. Yeah, I know the brakes on these cars suck, so until I change the wheels, I can't fit any bigger brakes. I had to shave maybe 1/4" off the corners of the calipers just to fit these wheels on here.

 

Inspiration was to make a kit to my liking with full bumpers. Since the only ones that exist are Junction Produce (to my knowledge) which stick out 12" behind the car like a bench. I didn't draw anything up going into it, just started cutting and testing different pieces, stepping away, looking, then cutting, moving, cutting... (abt a million times) but I was making it up as I go. The one thing I knew before I even started, was flat black and I wanted the wheel wells to wrap around the wheels.

 

Pix during the process.

 

The front bumper is nothing but plastic and primer. (days of plastic welding). All of the original tabs for the fender liners are still in place.

 

Pretty sweet man.
