No I didnt, that would be sweet though. But its all one off to fit that spot specifically. I dont think I could really make a kit out of it. It was nothing but cutting metal and spending 30 minutes triming it to fit. It took about 6 hours to cut and spot weld each side, I still have some cutting/trimming to do and more stitch welding.

I'm sure some one with a CNC machine could do it, but I couldnt even transfer the stencils side to side in my case.

Up date: Fuse box is fucking impossible to hide. So its going to sit pretty right behind the headlight pan.

what size are your front wheels again? and how low are you gonna be going? the tubbing seems to be a really good/cool idea. when i start building my next "project" car i want to do some custom fabbing to the front to run the 17x10 fno1r's, then i will be 17x10 all the way around! that will be nice.

Right now I have both 17x8 +10 & 17x9 +15 Fn's but I too want to run 10's on all four corners eventually. Also If I ever switch to RR slicks in the future I have more than enough room. I'm glad I opted to do this. I wasnt planning on doing this to start out with but I figured I would be pissed if I passed up this chance.

This weeks progress;
Seam sealed the entire set up and started a little filler work.




Sealed the under side of the car and sprayed it with bedliner coating stuff.
