    Hey Daveo! What gauge sheetmetal did you use for the floor and inner wheel tubs? 20 gauge? I'm getting ready to do this as well..also do you know how much you went up on cutting into the fender. I know it varies with what tire size/diameter, but just want to compare some measurements if ya got em so I can know what to expect. Thanks man!

    i used 18 Gauge sheet metal thru out the car could go thinner. and i dont have the Measurements for the wheel wells what i did is when its all the way aired out i marked about an Inch around the whole wheel and that gave me plenty of clearance around the whole wheel
