    I found some interesting pictures I wanted to share.

    This appears to be a cutaway car, however it was built up using replacement panels/parts that were made by the guys that make the galvanized replacement panels in Germany I mentioned earlier. I wish I could find bigger and better pictures that were taken from other angles but this is the only one I can find.



    The next four pictures show a white Opel that caught my eye because it has the Steinmetz flares I have long considered using. All three cars have the flares but the white one has been lowered and because of the lighting in some shots it kinda hides the screws that are used to attach the flares. One of the reasons that I find these flares tempting is that I know of cars that are using 15x9 225-50/15 front and 15x11 285-40/15 rear wheel/tire combinations. That's also with rather traditional tire mounting methods, ie: no stretch and average size rubber. While those sizes aren't that important overall, they're a huge step up from the original 13x5.5 165-70/13 wheels and tires.








    You can also see quite a bit of the white car in this video which has footage from in and on the blue car.
