I’ve decided to pull the fenders on the Q45 so I can use the 18X9.5″ wheels that were on the 300ZX. I know I can pretty much figure this out for myself, but here is some reading I have been doing. If you know of any good sites that I can reference, please email them of leave them in the comments so I can check them out!

Vdub guys and BMW guys have this process down, but a quick search doesnt result in what I am looking for. To me, a pulled fender is the pinch weld, pulled straight out and contured as the fender itself. Many Nissan and Subaru sites I have been too have commenters that are of the opinion that ‘pulling” is actually “rolling”. Rolling I have done many times with pipes and bats, I need to pull my fenders out, whether I newspaper pull them of grind them down to the metal to stretch them. Anyways, check out this link for a pretty awesome VW build where the fenders are truly pulled.


Sunday Reading

/ T.M.Nelson

Most of my friends know that I have love for everything on wheels. I have a real passion for automobiles in their basic form, no a/c, no heat, just the driver and the controls. I have often wondered how awesome it would be to REALLY strip a car down to the bare essentials (i.e. no paint, carpet, or luxury items) and after looking around AGAIN at outlaw 356s (I will have one, I would even sell the Z for one. Sacrilegious – I know) I found probably the most awesome of the awesome. One of the goals I have in life is to save a car from the junkyard, this is made difficult by the fact that you can’t buy cars from yards around here. I think of the cars I have come across that were not even close to the carnage you are about to witness! 59′ Benz, 40 Ford, 68 TR5……list goes on.

I found this one (another KCW project, searching the Sunday Reading archives will present another that they did, which was immaculate) on http://www.crankandpiston.com. A pretty awesome site, they have some cool features. Anyways, check it out – ideas ideas ideas………………………..

This is a 71 page thread, but totally worth the time to read it! Credit goes to KCW board member Rustabus for putting up the funds for what is probably the dopest outlaw 356 I have yet to see……absolutely amazing what KCW does….
