A fiberglass box would work better because it would weigh less and keep the center of gravity lower, but I wanted to make sure it worked well first.

Thanks for the pics, it is and will be a beautiful AND mean car!

I forgot to ask you, how much wider are your fenders than stock? And are those Porsche pattern BBS wheels? What are the offsets and what car where they intended for?

Looks grate thanks for the pics.



the fenders are 2.5" wider (front) and 3" wider (rear) from Creative Car Craft like yours. actually they say me that the fender are the first they sell for mexico.

the bolt pattern are 5 x 120 (BMW)

originally are for BMW M3 (E46)
front 19 x 8.5 +35mm offset,
rear 19 x 10 +20mm offset.

Hi Hugo, Great job!
That's a really nice looking conversion you've started there and a good choice of engine and powertrain too!
I particularly like the substitution of the Corvette front suspension components (if a little heavy though IMHO) which really look the mutt's nuts.
I will be following your build closely, along with everyone else here! Good luck with it all and please keep us posted!

There is no news, because I have a lot of work, and I'm still waiting for some items for the rear suspension from North carolina (ebay).
