And it begins..."The Flash" Build Thread

[Erik W. Treves]

Lots of progress yesterday and today... Got pretty much ALL the front aluminum done...also completed the adjustment for the wheel and tire combination....

So disclaimer.....

Alignment is just quickly done and have not taken it out on the road yet....

Seems like it will work out...

Tire size is 235/40/18 ... this is about 1 inch more in diameter than spec.

Initially it rubbed everywhere so stay to spec unless you want this look and a ton of work. I had to make/cut and rebend the outside front firewall aluminum, rear and front fender liners. I am also losing about 1/8 to 1/4 turn at full lock, but this is with the rough alignment. Looks like I could message it some more, but I am going to call it done....also the ride height is at 5" to keep the suspension at correct angle... this means I have to add .5 inches to the rear as well... anyway here ya go...pics!!

stock panel on the left...mine on the right.. made the one tear drop slot go around the weld so it lay flat.



All the front floors are in







it's tight looking but it is a good 1/2 inch..



got the wheel sitting in there nice and centered
