Not wanting to highjack this thread, but Mr. Merlin, I was looking at your SSR pictures in the Gallery and it looks like after you painted the flames, you removed those gorgeous chrome wheels. Just curious as to why?

REBEL said:Yep … rough idea, enough to start and then adjust it as I go. 32”x 3” across the window extending out 24” and tapering toward the front grill. Round the leading edge with a rise to match the same rise as the front of hood. On the sides I will cut 3 stylized “C “ vents to pickup on the door handle half mooner shape, But lean them with a longer lower leg.( you know like the attitude 3 leaning forward on Dales stock car.) Their will be 3/8 of metal that runs through all the cutouts. This is a stiffener for the inside c tabs. That stiffener will run out past the C’s with a special paint treatment. Then I can back the cutouts with an expanded metal or plastic. Might work a purple horny running light in behind that. Across the back of the attitude hump I will try to hang a swing door from the top. Watch the avatar for progress shots, but still waiting for its arrival. If it’s s--- looking I still have the factory hood right. add: Nice dress on your ssr Merlin Like the clean back gate.
