The truly unfortunate part of this whole development is that it is likely only a short time before mfgs start offering tires with significantly thicker tread on one side...Or even conical-ish. This just doesn't need the encouragement IMO. Like lining the floor of your living room with cat litter so now the pets can pee everywhere.

That is stupid as ****! That is NOT what I'm going for, please don't get confused. Thats not what a real widebody is supposed to look like. The V fuzzy posted is exactly what I'm going for.
And this...

Update:
I haven't really had much time to work on the car since I'm selling my house, so ive been fixing the little things.
Anyway, I managed to tack the floor, cut the passenger side fenderwells for the monster wheels (so huge i had to cut into the gas door!! )and pretty much finished up the bottom of the B pillar, just need to do the door sills, I'm damn tired of doing sheetmetal work!! Tomorrow I plan on starting the rollcage, I'm kind of nervous about doing the main hoop. I only have 1 15'ft section of tubing and I don't want to **** up the angles. Once the cockpit cage is done, I'll move on to the rear then finally the detachable front (making it really easy to change the clutch).
The whole bottom of the car is going to be a completely flat piece of aluminum, with hatches for future oil/tranny fluid drainage. Towards the rear I'm going to incorporate a fuctional diffuser, it's going to look sick!
Pics: (*** shot sucks, it's too dark and close, I'll take a better one tomorrow)

I don't have permission to move the thread to conversions and hybrids. Maybe a mod can move it for me???

None at all unfortunately, I had to put it on the back burner. I sold my house and had to repaint the garage so I got everything on top of it and throwing inside. I should be closing on my new house may 4th. So hopefully in about 3 weeks, I'll start up again on the car. I did get 288ft of more tubing to finish the whole chassis, so I'll have plenty to do once I'm ready.
I'll post updates soon enough, the car WILL BE FINISHED lol
