theBrit Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 I though some pictures of my efforts at cutting the arches back on a 240z might help people out. Some of the pictures are not that great, I guess I am no photographer, but a hand full might be usefull and I tried to add captions to a number of them. There are also a few pictures of the victoria british AKA volkswaggon beetle steel arches going on, I will update this when the rear is attached. http://www.holmesfamily.ws/240zRearArch/index.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteelToad Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 The text of your link says http://www.holmesfamily.ws/240zRearArch/index.html'>http://www.holmesfamily.ws/240zRearArch/index.html but the link points to http://www.holmesfamily.ws/240zRearArch apparently you need to add the /index.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RB26powered74zcar Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 That looks great guy.... are those splices on the rear VB flare, where the three spots that look as though tape was on them? ie: did you have to cut and splice the rears to adjust the length?

theBrit Posted September 2, 2006 Author Share Posted September 2, 2006 Thanks, actualy I did not section them radialy like that, that is just tape form the 1000 of times I tacked them on I have had to re do the arches and re form the rolled lips extensvly though. The front was the worst, that was way off, I took inches out of the top of the arch to make it follow the same arc as the wheel so that it looked right and would not hit when the suspension compressed. The blue Z with VBs that everyone sees also has this done, you can tell bythe way the top of the arch sits in line with the crease down the side of a z, as they come it sits very much lower.
