You could do the front arches no worries but the rears involve messing around with the rear doors.

you could probably just cut the rear arches in half and mount one half to the door, ive seen heaps of factory cars like that, you would just have to finish off the edges so it looks proper, ive thought about things like forest arches but then i remind my self about the $$$ lol new bit on dash:  man a few of my mates are calling me gay for this but i dont care man i love the fuzz (interior coverings that is), if it were gay it would be pink. yes ill get around to spraying the arm rest's black eventually. you can see the black mark on the bonnet where it burnt the paint from the other side lol...

im planning on (my final decision lol) acrylic "brilliant" Jet black bonnet, roof and boot, Medium Light to Dark Silver doors, wings and rear quarters, with a Flat Red design going over the top of the back window and covering the rear roof pillars  or that without the the red, depends which is easier and looks better im not afraid to try it [:x)] ill get a pic of what i want it to look like eventually.

hahah yeah its from a tractor set lol
all i need now is something with the front seats (replace, covers, reupholstered)
a nice running engine
and a paint job!
and then id say its pretty much ready for the road.
and yeah about the strut brace haha it wasn't even made for handling or stiffening, i was just bored and i started thinking, i got the welder and grinder out and then i realised i can just do that alot easier lol.
i did use proper steel tho, hopefully it will help stiffen things up even if its just a bit.
