Thanks Guys. I have completed the drivers side and will post some pics when I get a chance.
RacerX,
I am not sure about the lip. I would like to mimic a modern squared off lip rather than the rounded common lip. I would love some suggestions in the form of pics. I plan on altering the 1/4's somewhat. I want the portion closest to the door to be slightly larger than the original.
Matt,
I was concerned about the car bowing when I cut out the 1/4's but I dont think it moved a bit. I will be installing a roll cage and strut braces so I am no too concerned about structural rigidity.
