Talk me into Fenderwell Headers

roughidle said
I'm not - nor will I ever be concerned with originality with this car or any car I ever build. I know some people are and that's fine. Just not for me. This car is a 318 auto on the column car.... but no longer. So I have no reservations cutting the inner fenders as long as structural integrity isn't a concern as stated above by another member. I worry about damaging them from throwback off the front tires and the front tires themselves. What's the max tires size that can be run with 2" fenderwells?

Yeah, I can see that... The cars I fixed were real 340 and 383 cars, and people were going back to original. If its just a fun street strip car, why not. I wish whoever had cut the inner fenders out had left a small lip by the fire wall, would have made job putting them back in much easier. You will probably never go back to under chassis headers, but maybe the next guy might. just a thought.
