my74cadillac Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 (edited) Hi so far I have lowered the car and have the driver side flair done and ready for some filler I plane on making a wide body style body kit for it and a rear spoiler as well the rims are from a honda civic kit that I got from a friend a few years ago I'm also thinking of doing some kind of hood scoop Edited February 15, 2016 by my74cadillac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
louie Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 It looks like you are off to a great start. What exactly are you making the wheel flair's out of, if you don't mind me asking. I really like this and the direction that you are going in. Thank you.   Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
my74cadillac Posted February 5, 2016 Author Share Posted February 5, 2016 Thank you i took a look at some pictures online for a good reference then drew it out on the body and took a hobby saw and cut a few lines on it and just carfully pulled it out on the outside of the wheel well if a piece comes off just glue it back on ware it looks good with the rest of the flair Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poppa mitch Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 What a great way to customise the wheel fenders, question, what did you do to the suspension to lower the stance,I am having problems with this part of the builds that I do.

my74cadillac Posted February 6, 2016 Author Share Posted February 6, 2016 First I mock up part of the factory suspension to see how high it is then I take a see thru bendable that I shaved the ends down to the first line and see how much I can take out and Mark it on the parts for most of the rear I cut I cut the springs and then on the front I usually shave the mounting points then for another kit that I lowers a 49 mercury I had to cut the inner wheel well then on others you may have to make your own parts for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

my74cadillac Posted February 7, 2016 Author Share Posted February 7, 2016 I was going back and forth with the style of the rims I found a set for a Acura kit but then I wanted deeper so I took the rim and cut the face of it off with the hobby saw and glued the face to the back of the rim it also give the illusion of a wider wheel  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
