Dude, we need more pics. This pic is older than the previous ones for the nose arrow isn't glassed in. Take some side, rear, and close pics of the area.

Curly,
I do believe that the nose in that pic is our fiberglass nose. The other pic I believe is just a stock bumper and they decided to buy a fiberglass one instead so they can mod it easier.

You know I like viewing the details and in the other pic it appears that it was your nose that was glassed in near the arrow point, but I could be wrong.

If possible (with Tony's permission) can you please bolt-on your 19/20 on one side...please. There's no need to view a wide rear with baby wheels on the back, right? This thread is like viewing Leroy's #013 w/o wheels. Even Leroy couldn't stand looking at his chopper with baby wheels. This thread is somewhat different than what I normally do things. I get the wheels first and then work my way back. IMHO wheels are the main objective when setting the "tone" for building a car, followed by the engine, and then body kit.
Forgive me for being blunt, but we're just adding the MadArch kit here, certainly nothing ground breaking in that process. I'm digging the hip movement and all-and that's really cool and would love to see close-ups and angles of the modifications, but other than-that lets see some mirror action. I understand the need to keep what's "secret" under wraps-and that's cool.

In this case it was more of an opportunity than normal planning.
The car was already there for the engine swap, and no other mods were planned at the moment, but the opening arose to add the body kit immediately so the opportunity was seized. Waiting around for wheels WAS NOT an option, especially the wheels that i want.
Sure i could get a run of the mill set of wheels that everybody gets (about $3 to 4 hundred each) and call it a day, but we both know that is not the goal.
Getting wheels first is defiantly the right way to go, but it is not always an available option, and in this case not gonna happen.

Good deal looks good and you know the car is in good hands. Dean puts out some nice cars. Looking at the RX8 mirrors and wondering are they extra wide or just a good fit for the chop?

I'm looking at one of Archie's wide body kits and was wondering what type of wheels people are using? What width and tire diameter?
