Awesome, I think the word your looking for is 'phat'
I think more photos are required to confirm, but I' say on first glance that that is an AWESOME car
Hope its left hand drive Jeff, as the right side is a bit low
Ola Carlos!

It's on one ramp on the front so the rear looks jacked up. Wait till it comes back with the body kit on it...
You going to split the body and add a bit in the middle to widen it?
No, it is off tomorrow to get the Cyana widebody kit fitted by Rob Johnson

And I came here to defend my wife's backside only to find out this thread's about a car's back end.
I like it, but like others said, more pics.

It is actually level...
[Edited on 19/2/17 by jeffw]
that's looking good.
Are you respraying when finiished?
That looks pretty cool Jeff. How is the arch kit fitted to the body ?
It will be ground away and then glassed in.
In the first instance it will be rattle can red but I'm thinking of a Martini inspired wrap at some point.
Is the exhaust going to exit ok or will this now need a few more inches on it to
It will an extension I think....

Day 5 photos, moving along. I'm pretty impressed how the back is shaping up as that was the area I was concerned about. Rob Johnson is going to
extend the front wishbones by 30mm to move the front wheel out to fill the arch and be inline with the rears.

Looking forward to seeing the finished product.
Should be interesting
Day 8
ready for paint on the back end. Lots of things still to do but looking good....
Be interesting to see if any hairline crack appears along the joins.
Thanks for that ......

I assume Rob Johnstone knows what he is doing as he has done several race car bodies and I didn't see any cracks in the paint work.
There a bit Carlos Fandango

You'll be pleased to know you are one of 18 people so far to come up with the youtube link to the advert.
Nice box has arrived
And it has
in it
Body is ready for primer now. Rob had extended the top and bottom wishbones by 30mm
Nice bit of fabrication

I did wonder about a couple of tabs and laying Ali in mine.

Have you worked out how to get them on?
Actually yes, obvious when you work it out, not obvious on first viewing !
Finishing line fast approaching
[Edited on 3/3/17 by jeffw]
A practiced hand at blending there, starting to look like a bullfrog
Have you a new splitter to bolt on the front lip?
I think it is looking pretty good. I'm not sure if Rob is doing a splitter or not, I assume he is but if not it will be an easy thing to do next week.
I do like the rear, when I added a bit of width to my tub I cut it high up the way he has stretched it from the top out looks very good, neatly
finished below.
Has he chopped away the double skinning underneath and blended that all in as well?
[Edited on 4/3/17 by mark chandler]
I've not seen it in the flesh yet Mark.
I like the look and am wondering if I could do similar (but not as phat) on my Fury
Where did you get the black arch extenders in the first photo? And did you use them as the base for the finished ones?
The black arches where off ebay (MX-5 arches from memory) and is something that Fury Sportcars supply now. The bulk of the arch was from Rob
Johnstone's widebody Cyana kit (£350) but he used the black arches as moulds to close down the gap in the wheel arch. You can see what has been
done here
Once the new suspension is on and the car is set for these tyres the gap between wheel and arch should reduce 1-2 inches.

great to see some one else using Rob Johnstone's widebody Cyana kit.
Although its upfinished in the pic, I quite like the 2 tone red / grey look with the split line running around the edge.
