Ben, I do not want to see any turbo pics, as I am too busy with other projects right now. Can you wait till next winter before finishing it because I do not need the stress of starting a turbo project right now. If I see the pics, I am afraid I may commit similar sins!

I hear you brother! I have a gazillion projects going on right now but turbo kits are about to give birth and its unnatural to go over the due date.

I am sorry you are going to have to see them soon!

Ben, looking forward to those rear quarter pics. By the way, Muffler installed and my little 2.7 never sounded so BIG!

glad to here the muffler sounds great. I worked on the 1/4s tonight. I had to massage the driver side out about 1/8th of an inch so both sides match

Beautiful job on the flares!
I know you are not soliciting advice, but if you were :-)

I'd paint the fuchs, if it were mine, but we all have personal preference.
Like the early Fuchs, I'd leave the petals and the outer rim polished. Looks great! Going to be awesome with the TURBO!

I thought about painting the back drop of the fuchs. I was going to try this for a while and see how I like it. The nice thing is It would not cost anything to paint them later

Looks great Ben. I also agree with Doug on the early look for the Fuchs. My personal taste as well.

Ben,
Polished looks great if you add in some black lug nuts and painted centers. Works for me and the bonus is easy cleaning.
