The rear fender that you re-worked is really bothering me. In the pictures the fender around the wheel doesn't look like a proper arch, it has a little flat spot in it and I can't unsee it.

Not sure if you've noticed it but please take a look before you do any final painting of that part of the car.

You never know later on where you might change wheel size. While you have the chance, I say do it, and you'll never have to worry about it!

That's what i was thinking as well, I'm still debating which wheels I'd like to go with. I'm thinking about work xd9's, but i also like the nt03's..

It looked like they filled in some of the gaps with Bondo, if they did you wouldn't be able to roll them. But I'm glad you noticed that flat spot before it was too late.

There is a thin coat of bondo, the body guy i must say worked some magic on this quarter. I'm going to attempt rolling my fender's tomorrow while I'm off work. I'll post some pics up tomorrow evening once i get home.

Thanks man, I'm going to be posting some more pic's up here in the next few day's. It may be a slow process on build for a month or 2, I'm in middle of getting a slab poured in my back yard to build a shop.

Looking forward to seeing the final color, it is one of my favorite colors. What wheels are on it now?
