That would be very cool.  Like the 60's Lincoln Continentals.

I keep changing my mind on color scheme so it's still up in the air. I am leaning towards a light blue though.

Trimmed the bottom off the driver side fender and started working on the fender lip. Finally had to give my buddy's wheels back so I am back on the 15's  :-[

You can cut it off a little at a time and weld it back up or do as I did and just roll it under.

It's been awhile since i've logged on and this thread still amazes me. I just wish I had the means to get bags for my 85. I like it but some times I wish I could raise it up a bit while driving. Some of the roads MD and especially PA aren't for that cool for the lowered. Awesome work!!

Kicked around a lot of ideas as to where to mount my tanks and finally decided the only place they would really fit is behind the rear wheels. Might need to make some shields to block anything coming off the rear wheels but that won't be hard.

I am working on running my stainless hardline for my bags but it has been raining for the past three weeks. Since I don't have a shop or garage it really slows things down. >:(
