I really considered doing big fender flares like yours. I wanted to section the front wheel well up 2" also so I could drive at lower heights. Just an idea. Keep up the cool work 8)

Instead of ground effects have you considered just fabbing the exhaust tip into the quarter panel? Looks like its hanging too low so what if you raised it up, cut a hole in the bottom of the quarter panel and grafted it in there? You're already working in that quarter so now would be the time :idea:

Cuz steel ground effects are cool.

Well, I must say that after reading through your build thread that I have some ideas that i'monna steal from you one day for my 79... haha

But the elco looks great dude.
I like the third brake light you put in, I'monna do the as soon as I can.
But I think I'll take your LED stripes under the hood idea and tweak it a bit... I thought about putting in the leds inside of the hood supports on the bottom of the hood and wiring them up to a hood trigger so they're always on when the hood is opedn, more of an affect in the nighttime.


But kudos to your build dude, all the custom sh*t looks pretty bad *ss if I do say so myself... haha.
Cheers man!
