Bump for BabyVet

Can I have one.... PLEASE!!!

I know hindsite is 20/20 and it is easy to armchair QB, but i gotta think Archie wishes he had pulled a mold of this version of the rear bumper for the Mad-Arch widebody kit.

Dang,...that is just sex !

We did pull a mold off of it. Then the 1st part out of the mold was put on the car then the scoops & reflector were added.

With the mass of filler & fiberglass it took to build the original bumper up, it was really built up heavy on the ends, there was no way we could have made those side scoops into it.

Oh my bad Archie,..i thought you guys had modified the original widebody rear bumper, by lowering it a couple inches, and also adding the side vents ??

I guess my memory is getting worse as i get older.

So you guys have a mold for the this lower bumper ?

When we pulled the molds off of Curley's car, this is what the rear bumper looked like. (these are fresh out of the molds)

After we had the mold off of it & installed the 1st bumper out of the mold on his car, that bumper was then a standard bumper that anyone could then buy from us. So he had to tweek it to be unique.

Now you know Curley well enough by now that you know that's it's all about tweeking........ if we had pulled a mld everytime he had tweeked it then we'd have 10 molds by now & his car would still be here getting another tweek.

Archie

Yeah i see your point. Curly never stops thinking of ways to modify something.

I guess my point was just that i think you guys did an awesome job on tweeking it. The lowered bumper looks soooo much better with the big wheels in back as compared to just the plain stock widebody one.





But like you say each person can tweek it to their own likes and come out smelling unique.

I just noticed your Ebay Archie. Tony-are you hearing this?

Just waiting on that tax return! Widebody here I come!

Did he move or sell it? This is the picture that I used for inspiration for the logo. It is from the Coast Run three years ago I think.

Sorry for the off-topic post, and again if this was already covered, but what scoop is on the decklid ?
Edit: Man, wish I had $2k laying around... I tried sooo hard not to fall in love with Archie's widebody kit. "One often meets his destiny trying to avoid it."

It's a one off custom scoop made by Archie's crew.

Is there any interest in the MadArch widebody kit? Yes. I wonder how many MadArch widebody kits does that make?

Outlaw customs working on not one, but two Mad Arch widebody choptops !





The one with the hatchback belongs to the shop's owner, the other to one of his employees. This is the same shop that just painted Jim88gt's choptop.

Nice to see he pulled in the C-pillars. I don't know why people opt out in doing it, especially when the car is being build.

Looks like once the widebody is on all people can do is wonder how they ever got along without it !



That is Doug, the car's owner, looking on,..he is an employee also of the shop doing the work, outlaw customs.

So true Tony,...... So how do you get along without it??? Now its your turn, get that order in!!!!. If you do it I'll drive #22 down to FL for a chop top cruise-in. I'm sure we could recruit Curly and others.

Yep, and I'm sure Jim88GT and Jscott will too. Tony. Quit procrastinating. Get down and ride that wide pony!

ok

Just went through the entire 22 pages and am now convenced I need to start saving for the notch wide body kit......
I wanted 10" wide wheels on my Notch now, just couldn't fit em'. Where there's a will, there's a way.. :-)
Love it.

The Notchback kit IMO is nicer then the Fastback and doesn't require a choptop. e.g. MotorTV notchback is awesome.

EDIT:
May want to look at Rottin Whodeanie Project which has custom rear hip panels for the fastback at the moment. Looks great in person and much lower cost then going with a widebody kit (kit price, less expensive wheels, better quality, install time, etc). I'm sure something similar would come out of Whodeanie's Customs for the notchback.

OR

Just take a notchie, drop it, add bigger wheels, engine swap, lip spoiler, Mustang Fox Body wing and fresh paint. You just saved a bunch of money, headaches and have one hot looking car...

First time I see this.... Would have consider it but really I'm glad I didn't in the past for obvious reasons. Something for me to look into for the present.

An option for those looking to go wide and not wanting to drop $5 to 6 K on wheels.

http://www.weldcraftwheels.com/index.html

Archie do you know what offset would be best for a pre 88 fiero (1985), with coilovers, for the wheels to set flush with the Mad Arch kit ?

Wheels will be 20 x 11 (R) and 19 x 8.5 (f). The lip in the rear will be at least 4 ".

Heeeeelp !

if you have been considering this mod, this picture may push you over the top,...wow !

Their site states that widening to the outside face of the wheel can only be done on revese mounted wheels. I think that the majority of wheels out there are not revese mount. I have looked around to find a reverse mount wheel in a 5x100 pattern, no luck yet. The search for cheap wide wheels continues...

There's a set of Racing Hart wheels on Ebay using 5x100 for $1200 with tires. Rears are 10.5" I believe.

I'd really like to see more pictures of this car..
