Thinking of adding fender flares and bigger wheels and tires, where did you guys buy your flares and which are the best? Also, I need pics of front ends, I'm trying to determine if I want to keep it stock with the flares or add a spoiler. Thanks, Rod

Ecklers stuff is good quality, can't speak for anything else. On the front, a guy in our local club autocrossed a 73 vert and in order to get larger wheels up front, he drilled a hole near the bottom edge of factory lip flare both in front of the wheel well and behind, then used a saw to from hole to hole. after drilling and cutting, the factory edge hanging free and only attached at the bottom corners. After pulling the lip out ~1-1-1/2", he made a back up plate out of cardboard and glassed the gap from the top, removed the cardboard and glassed from the bottom too. After working and finishing both sides, his front still loked stock, but allowed for a wider wheel, can't remember if he stuffed a 10" wheel in there or not, but its a good alternative on the front. Dave Hopper (Rolling Thunder) used this approach after installing a set of flares and needing another 1" of coverage, I'm sure he can send you pics of how he did everything.

So what set of wheels and tires are youn thinking about? :cool: :cool: 17"x11" or wider out back would sure look sweet on your car!!!!!!
