Not really a fan of the flares but interested in seeing once the paint is on.
Would rather have seen it tubbed with a shortened rear axle but I can understand not going that route because he wanted he wanted to keep the IRS. Something about seeing a car from the back that is almost all tires from fender to fender just screams fun to me

Glad to see this project almost finished. Don't mind the back end, but I would of blended the line more to make it a slow transition and blend a little more. Or got some crazy offset wheels to fit

And I think over 200K invested. Can of worms def opened, but his build was much more complex for better and for worse. Sometimes keeping it simple is where it's at. I would have loved to see Victory pull through on his build

He did it himself, not pay other ppl to build his dream (not to mention seemed like ppl that didn't know much about the platform)

Not sure if I'm a fan of the wide body designed that way but better than 4" of poke.

I just wanna see this thing at a track!

Are you planning any shakedown runs?

Question, if your rear wheels are only 10" wide how come they poke so much? Is it due to the fact the GTO rear end is longer/wider? (however you want to put it) Just curious cause I've seen a few guys cram some 9.5 and 10's underneath it with barely any poke.

He's using the GTO independent rear suspension, he didn't want a solid axle even if that meant the wheels would stick out as much as they do.

Just couldn't remember and didn't feel like digging through 19 pages but thanks for refreshing my memory.
