any chance you could take some pictures of the edges along the door, and how it fades under the sail panel? im planning on building a widebody for the ta once i finish moving, and theres a few things im still not sure on how to go about doing.
Sure, I think I already have some at home, but if not I can take a couple when I get home from work tonight.

As requested..........These are the best I have, what I did was cut the fiberglass about 1.5" short to give myself room to smooth out the blend so I am using the original line from the door jam. The "new" quarter tapers right to the original line. Same thing under the sail panel, the fiberglass ends about 1.5" earley to provide room to blend the shape in.
i think this is an awesome build.....it totally goes against the grain!!!!....GOOD luck on the rest of your build....i hope everything goes through for ya
btw what drivetrain is going to be in this car as final product

i agree....i dont have the patience for such a long process....i filled in the berger panel on my car and that was all the sanding, priming and painting i will ever do again

Not sure, I will probably run the LS1 (full bolt-ons + cam) until I grenade it, then hopefully go bigger.

I have done several fairley large scale body work projects and at some point during each one I tell myself "this is the last one, I wouln't start this crap up again!" But I can't help it, I want things the way I want them, but I don't want to pay someone to do something I know I can do, plus body work is fun when you get to stand back and be happy with what you have done.
I haven't done a whole lot on the car lately, at least not the exterior. I have been working on getting the interior ready for an autoX cage & redoing the whole interior with racing seats, 5pt. harnesses, and all that good stuff. I am also shacing the cup holder & ash tray. I am hoping to get the car in for paint by Feb. but I am not in a big hurry to get it done, having a project keeps me out of trouble.
Right now my wife is pregnant with our 2nd child so that has slowed my progress as well. Once I have the interior a little more presentable I will post some pics of that aswell.
On a side note- If anybody in the Phoenix AZ area has some TA door panels for sale I would appreciate a heads up.
I would love to see just the wider fenders on a car with the 6litereater splitter... *hint*hint* that would be a cool harrell kind of look without making an exact clone.
