Phase 1 of Widebody Completed

Well Phase 1 or Pre Phase 1 of my Widebody Conversion is Complete. I just received my tires today 265/30/19 and 315/25/19 Contis. Here are a few pictures of my rims. Next VCE will be building the full metal widebody around the new rims and tires just like Eric's and Henry's Widebody. 6" lip in the rear on a 12, and 3" lip in the front on a 9.5. I will post pictures of the transformation. Thanks to 6Speed and the pictures of Henrys and Eric's Widebodies, I had to take the plunge.

6" lip in the rear. I was actually thinking of doing a 7" lip but there are no correct tires for a 13" rear wheel currently with a matching front for the 9.5. Also a 7" rear lip might be overkill. Even with the 6" from certain angles you can no longer see the design of the center section.

That lip is awesome. I am jealous. Your front lip is as big as my rear one.

When will this be completed? If soon, maybe you can come to the Fleming's meet/run/dinner to gives us a look?

Actually, I just want to see Rodis' face when he sees the 6 INCH LIP!!!!!!!!!

LOL

TUUNER, I hope to have this finished in about 6 weeks. I am also adding the Tech Art Front Bumper and Tech Art Rockers, as well as the Turbo Rear Bumper, and VCE 993 Style Hood as well as a complete color change to Colbalt Blue.

RODIS, I was inspired by your car when you went with the 5" lip. It made me think about the possiblity of trying to fit a 6" or 7" lip on the rear. After the widebody is complete and if the 6" looks too small I might opt for the 7".

I plan to post pictures of the operation and the different stages this car will go through, before it is complete.
