    Mmmm, thanks lewbud.

    I'm tempted to get some cardboard and mock up box flares on the GT parts car. Just to see what it looks like.

    Wow, walk out to this everyday and just now thought "box flares!" Not as wild as all the race cars posted here, but still factory box flare!

    one of my challenge ideas was to graft the stepside flares of an S-10 onto a fleetside S-10 for some box-flare IMSA truck wannabe goodness

    It needs less of lot's of things, not just vents. Loose the graphics, loose the silly front bumper etc. Way OTT and tastless for me.

    That's a large serving of awesome right there :) I'm not that familiar with the Broadspeed Capri's, I know their Escorts, but when I think of wide Capri's I think Zakspeed. The Mk I is so much better looking than the mk II though. Thanks.

    Don't worry, rain will wreck the cardboard flares almost as fast as the car will rust in Michigan

    LOLZ.

    I am trying to figure out how to get the Supercoupe engine in the classifieds and a MGB GT in the same spot at the same time...
