I have to admit I have seen some sweet looking Camaros with wide body modifications.

Are there any good examples of wide body modifications for A bodies, say a duster?

I just have a hard time seeing the lines that you would pull away from the body to give it a nice "fat" look.
 
I was going to make my own for my 73 swinger, it just curves under to much and limits some things. I don't know if i'll ever do it but would be fun
 
When I was gonna autocross my 65 Cuda I was trying to thing of ways but couldnt come with one without majorly redesigning the side of the car. Most A Body's are to square besides 2 gen Cuda to work but I'm sure it could be made to work with a lot of work.

The Camaro is tastefully done, I like it. I think the same could be done with many Mopar "A" bodies but you don't see it.
Not sure of the reason why. My guess is that spending the time and money for such a modification is more wisely spent of a car that can be sold for more money than a Mopar A bodies typically sell for. If I had the talents I think it would be cool to fit some 335/18 front and back.
 
But you can appreciate a little tweeking of the quarter panel too

I like my Charger. I think I'll stick with it. lol.

I think it would be really sweet to add some round wheel flares to an early Valiant Signet, like the Datsun 510 GT cars, to run 15x8s on all 4.

So Pauly,

WTF is that "tunner stuff" you're speaking of?
You might be interested to know that some people want to turn corners, accelerate, and stop just like, or better, than new cars do. I guess that all the road track prepared cars that numerous members on this forum have built and have shared valuable information about don't count in the "Mopar World" that you are a solid member of. Maybe you think that everyone in the "Mopar World" that you speak of wants to go in a straight line. If that is the case you have been misinformed.

You've posted exactly two times. Normally I welcome new guys and I'm always willing to help any new members if I can, as are all the great people here. Most members here would say "welcome, show us your ride!". I'm not gonna do that since you are such a "Mopar World" kinda guy.
Not you, no sir! Instead of introducing yourself, you jump right in and start dissing other members thoughts and ideas. Nice going!

So hotshot, impress us! -pauly
