Haha that thing looks crazy with all that stuff on it like that. Mo the progress and the speed you are making it at is crazy!! Should be done in no time. When all is said and done how much weight do you think it will add to the car?

So do you plan to finish that out with clay before you make your mold or glass and bodyfiller?

Not seeing this will add that much weight since the panels are light weight fiberglass and the blending required will be minimal I promise. Probably 20 lb I would guess.

Today I got the entire quarter sculpted out. As far as I can tell, this is the final shape so I'm moving to the other side. Didn't I tell ya guys this was gonna go faster than you thought? Partially because I've been putting in 12 hr days for 2 weeks straight including Sundays!!

Wow mo that looks awesome man!! I was worried about weight adding on to my car because of drag racing and all but 20 lbs is nothing. Id be interested in this for sure, i just dont want it to look goofy with stock srt rims under it haha.

I hear ya buddy, but don't sweat the wheel thing too much. I know that is a hefty expense to get new rims and tires along with the widebody.Also, I know its contraversial, but you can always go with 2" spacers on the back and keep your SRT wheels. Even if it wore out your wheel bearings prematurely (like in 50K miles? what is prematurely?), those bearings are not that hard to change I'm sure. I and many of my customers ran custom made spacer on my Danko Camaro wide body and they worked fine and never heard back of any bearing problems but that was a Camaro.... They were the kind of spacers that were solid billet 2" alluminum that bolted up to the lugs and had lugs coming out of them. They were super solid and I was just told to always use some lock tite and on the inner lugs and check them once in a while to make sure they weren't getting loose. For some kool old Danko Pics, here is the Danko Camaro, which is a kit I designed about 20 years ago when I started this business, it is based on a 82-92 camaro the yellow car was my daily driver and it had the spacers (2" on the back and 1 1/2" on the front), still have the moulds if anyone wants to do one.

The large gap in the door will be filled in later, that is not important at this stage. Here are some pics of the final version, but it is sanded down about 1/4" lower than the actual finished product, because I have to leave some extra space for the layers of fiberglass and bondo and that is gonna come next. Also, the bottom of the rocker will not be flipped out like that in the rear once it is attached properly.
