Warren,
I started the machining on some of mine. Can you possibly give some insight in this thread?

Was that post welded to the control arm and the bracket inside the well what you used for straps?

A couple of pics of the radiused wheel lip. I moved them forward about 2 inches from the stock location. Had to remove the belt line moulding and cut off about 1.25" and put a new bevel on them, then paint everything.
going to test June 11, if I dont break anything will try to make SDAC.

I always like looking at your fabrications Warren
Good luck on the 11th! Hope you get it running well and can bring it down to SDAC, it's been too long since I could drool on your car in person!

Wow, talk about impressive. I looked at the pics before your description, and was thinking to myself, "I don't see what he did". That's awesome.
Yeah, no doubt... so, parking lot Tech at SDAC, Warren can mod my wheel wells like that?

Warren, can you describe the radiusing process? I think I see how you did it, I'm just curious if I'm right. This looks like something I need to do to my car as well, so it interests me quite a bit.
Sure, I unbolted the front belt molding and removed it, mounted the slick for reference, took a piece of masking tape as a guide and starting at the top, above the molding line, applied the tape in a forward sweeping radius increasing in width as I went down to the bottom. This was my cut line.
I just followed this tape line with my air saw, cutting from the bottom up. You end up with a slice of fender lip that I just put inside the newly cut fender. I glued and riveted it in place and did a little touch-up paint. There is one rivet on the bottom, one on the narrow silver stripe, two under the belt molding, and two inside top of lip.
I cut and re-beveled the molding piece with a belt sander, filled the end with bondo and shaped with belt sander, then paint.
If you are very careful you dont even need to paint anything (except for molding). Hope this makes sense, kind of hard to describe.

have you thought of using titanium hardware? I know it can easily save 20-30 lbs on a sprint car. Also, like the removal of the end of the axle stubs, every little bit counts.

Makes perfect sense! Thanks for the tip!
