HELP! I need to get the fenders flared!
I've got extra unpainted front and rear fiberglass fenders, but I need to get them flared to better fit the new wheels and tires and I need to get them cut and fitted with vents.
Anyone know of a shop or fiberglass technician in or near Riverside California that can do this?
Please email me at eddymelissa@earthlink.net
Couple of pics of the Healey with the wire wheels. They look pretty, but they require tiny tires (165/75/15) and I've heard horror stories of them disintegrating under hard acceleration.
More recent pictures show replacement Minilite lookalikes (knockoffs in front and bolt ons in back).
Chevy 327 makes car fun to accelerate, but frightening to stop.
Had lot's of cooling problems, but I sorted that out with a home made air dam, Edelbrock water pump, bigger aluminum mechanical fan, and an ugly but effective fan shroud.
Front brakes are 74 Capri Girling Type 16s (bolt on modification) and slotted Austin Healey BJ8/MGC rotors.
Some info on this is on page 2. It's got a Wilwood dual circuit master cylinder and Cadillac/Lincoln calipers/rotors in the back.
I also added 5 point harnesses and a rollbar.
I'm keeping the Minilite knockoff hubs in the front (205X65X15) and using bolt on wheels (in the ford bolt pattern) in the back (225X55X16).
