    Like it... this is the look I am after. Something different. I would only change the mirrors. Nice though. I started a post about header ground clearance and this would definitely be a problem with a ride height like this. I like it though.

    Does anyone know what would need to be done to the rear to get that thick of a tire under the wheel well (sp). Is it a shortened tubbed rear-end.

    Its already done. I have 18x10 with 295/35/18. Look at my gallery. Needs a mini tube, thats it but you have to relocate most of the suspension & get rid of the gas tank.

    Cool, I took a look. that tire looks like it would fit without any work being done though. Maybe I'm wrong.

    That tire is way to wide. The inner fender is not deep enough & the leaf springs too. Once you move the springs over the shocks have to be relocated to get the right degree again. The gas tank is not centered under the car some it is also in the way on one side. I guess when the guy did the work, he made it look like nothing was done but it was. The tire is about 12 1/2 inches wide.

    I've got to say I like Foose but I've always been a car-mag junkie and I've seen those kind so renderings LONG before I'd ever heard of Chip Foose. Heck he was still a kid...lol.

    I have a set of those mirrors as well. I will trade someone a set of those in chrome for a pair of grabber/sport mirrors in yellow or black....

    BTW so as not to highjack this thread I like the drawing too but it is to new skewl for me, I loke the old skewl stylings better
