What are they gonna do with the rear bumper there?

To fit my 29.5's I just cut the front part of my rear quarter, not sure what I wanna do with the rear bumper yet.

Free...my brother does most of the external body mods. My pockets aren't as deep as most, I have to resort to doing all the work myself. Learn as I go.

I have a few more pics of the the work, but don't want to liter his post. Seems much easier than cutting the entire quarter panel up, and I got the same amount of clearance.

I wanted to wheel well to have the same look to it front and back. thats why we cut the whole wheel lip and moved it forward. the back bumper is goin to be cut the same amount as the quarter and moved back and bonded back together. doin this will give enough room for a 30" tall tire if i ever decide to go that big.

Yeah, me too. You can just barely see the stock lip around the inner front portion of the quarter still. Looks nice!

damn, that gonna be a show car or a race car? I've never seen someone go to the point of gutting a race car and putting it on a rotissary to have the undercarriage repainted..... makes teh car that much more impressive IMO.


Good job!

Good job!
I already had the car almost gutted so all I had to take out from under it was the suspension stuff. I wanted to take all that off anyways to get powder coated a different color, so I thought since I had to go that far and I didnt have anything on my rotissary I may as well paint the bottom of the car. One thing leads to another all the time. Thanks too.
