        Haha! I do it as just a hobby.

        There is a line from a Tool song that has inspired me for years now..

        "You will come to find that we are all one mind, capable of all imagined and all conceivable."

        Take it for what you will, but the way I see it is, that if you can imagine something, you can do it. I plan things out in my head, then when I am satisfied, I make it happen. I have also have a lot of fender work experience from years of owning Corrado's. I decided I wanted a mid-engine Corrado years ago, so I taught myself to weld, then jumped into the project. There was an endless amount of fabrication with that project and quality work is key. A good imagination and attention to details will allow you to make nearly anything that you have the tools for.

        I am finishing up with my work day now, so hopefully I will have a decent update by the end of the night.

            A few picture while gassing it up...









            I got the welding on the drivers side finished. Now it just needs a little dolly work on both sides before I'm satisfied with the metal work. This was the first drive on the wheels. The rears need to be started already! I had to manually adjust the the air to keep from cutting the tires. Atleast the burned paint really doesn't matter...

              You've gotta notch the control arm for the bag so that the rear goes lower. Needs to tuck rim in the rear, but it's looking great so far!

                It goes a lot lower. The fenders are sitting on the tires, waiting on me to widen them.

                      Fabrication gone mental.
                      I love this a lot.
                      My 1978 Porsche 924 build thread is quite boring.

                        Fenders look really good so far. I'm really diggin' this thing.

                          You've got balls cutting up your car like that! I guess I do the same things but my cars are old so it seems less.... risky maybe? Totally digging that you're doing all your own work too. That makes a build for me.

                            This is impressive man. I have some serious respect for your metal work. I can't wait to see it all wrapped up.

                              Here are the only pictures I've taken so far.

                              Prepped and cut the inner fender. The inners are my least favorite part to deal with



                              Prepped the outers and figured my cut line.



                              Smoked a cigarette...then went for it.



                              The the bumper back on, cut it, and noticed a few issues that will need to be solved.



                              And one of me tracking rods to hold it in it's rough place.



                              I did the same to the other side then called it a night. I haven't gotten started on it today. I need a break for a few hours.
