Re: Re[2]: Cruising speed on 1500/1600


Well the spot i am talking about really is the wheel well because the
fenders and all of that has already been done. So, I need to figure out
how in the world i can possible contor the walls of the wheel wells. 
What do you all think. 
has anyone ever tried this on a type 3?
