Yea, it might be Gay for you - everyone has different taste's mate Everyone sees things different... I like it the way it is. It would not be suitible for a restored Trueno / Levin - but my Trueno concept is totaly different...

How did you shape the sheet metal wheel arches?

Also, after you welded them on, what did you use to grind the welds down? I can't think of any grinding stone that would work in that kind of angle. Grinding disc maybe? (the flexible kind).

After 2 or 3 trial test cuts of sheet metal - found the right shape in bend position - cut it out - and then welded it on. After this we made kind or a roller to roll in the edge without bending all the shape. All the welds where sanded with rubber disk on wich sand paper glues on Wheel arches was dificult task - belive me... if i had to do it again - i would just go with somthing like VW arches cut out - basicly anything that would suit the shape from another car instead of making my owns.
