Very nice, thats the way to do it...keep us all updated and post some pics when your done...If I have time here this winter or next summer I may try making a mold after I finish mine so that I can get them done for whomever else wants them because I know there are quit a few...I'll keep everyone updated on that as the time comes.

Are your tires rubbing? Any issues to report? I am looking to go with a similar size in the rear.

The wide body panels have been removed from the MCHP website. Are they no longer going to be offered?

Which car are you planning on making a mold for? Nothing wrong with an even wider T/A!

I'll be making the mold for the camaro first because that is what I have readily available to work on since my TA is also my daily driver. If all turns out well and I have the time I'll make one for the TA to. Preparing for medical school right now though is consuming my spare time haha. I should have enough this winter though to do at least the rear quarter molds for the camaro. I'll do my best to keep everyone posted. Just hit me up for details or updates whenever though!

Sounds excellent, please keep us posted as the company that promised "pictures and progress" fell through. Buy the way, ever consider making the rears out of carbon fiber? The material is not too much more than fiberglass and would help to shave some weight?

Ya I have thought about that but for quality carbon fiber and making it thick enough to with stand everyday forces (shopping carts, crazy people with there doors, etc.) it would be pretty expensive. Of course I'm sure I could work something out for those willing to pay the money If you can find some quality stuff for fairly cheap then pm me the link please and I'll definitely take a look at it.

Being time will be tough cause of med school prep and my engagement so I am going to do my very best to get these done but I don't want anyone taking it as concrete right now. Trust me though, I will try and make the time cause I want these done just as bad as everyone else

I found a manufacturer that is seemingly currently producing wide quarters for the 98-02 Camaros for $400 bucks. The quality looks a bit questionable... due to forum rules, I'm hesitant to post the link.
