Wow! that's quite a difference, I really like the was the wheel wells are filled in. I assume you had 15" wheels in the before photos. What size tires were you running, and what size now??
Any rubbing issues? I'm planning on this update some day for my 72, it seems like 15" tire selections are getting fewer and fewer.

The 15" before pic: What appears to be lower profile tires do not fill the wheel wells, leaving too much gaposis. Requires higher profile or lower car to look right.
The 16" after pic: Fills out the wheel wells but looks out of proportion and does not compliment the narrow body style, to my eye. It may just be the black centers/spokes and extra surface area of the deeper rim showing, but it looks a bit off to me. PS: I really prefer 15" 7's on the early cars...but that's just me...I may be wrong.
