) can i see some pics of rear comp cornered stuff on the xj's...thanks...

trust me i've thought about it....i came real close today...

vetteboy79 · 05-08-2007, 08:51 PM

What are you looking for pictures of, exactly? The inside or outside?

I haven't really finished the inside panels yet.

pipehitter155 · 05-09-2007, 05:27 AM

the outside and inside to be honest....

vetteboy79 · 05-09-2007, 11:07 AM

Well, something like this...

Tight with the cage & tailgate:

Underneath w/cage tie-in:

Outside rough sanded:

Wider view:

How it is now (inside):

Does that help?

pipehitter155 · 05-09-2007, 11:09 AM

yeah a whole bunch....so you cut the whole fender out huh...

vetteboy79 · 05-09-2007, 11:33 AM

Yeah.

(no suspension in this pic)

That was definitely one of those things where I wasn't quite sure how to put it all back together. No clue actually. I think it turned out alright though.

Wanna sell the vette?

pipehitter155 · 05-09-2007, 11:47 AM
