Just a quick “thank you” to all of you ..... it’s super cool that you are all so willing to share your knowledge and experience. I appreciate more than I can express ...

PS: one of you should buy this panel for $1200 and remove the temptation of me buying it... (my girlfriend would absolutely murder me)

Heck...Right now I’m fighting the urge to buy the two rear quarter panels and make mine into a half-panel....

But I have the feeling this could Become a very cool car for whoever buys it ....

Yes I did, bigger footprint in the turns, & going to a 26" tire seems to soak up the bumps better. But the Flintstones that came on mine originally were hard as rocks..

And this is all the clearance on front tire to strut plate..

Cool, Remember different tire brands that are same size, can be slightly taller/ shorter or wider, etc. Best to check the particular tires specs, to be sure..
