Can you spot the difference? (BETTER PICS updated page 1)

Dad and I worked on fixing a pretty big...well, mostly annoying issue with the Tbird that has popped up after the last couple of changes to it.  See if you can tell what it is!

After:

NICE. Definitely x2 on the last pic. That works great. As you said, the wheels really do fit the car now.

Aww, come on folks.  I haven't even seen the car in person for months, but it's OBVIOUS what he's done to it.

He repainted the upper intake!

Looks mucho bettero, dude!  :rollin:
A car enthusiast with no car.

I love the smell of gas after it's been voraciously ingested and angrily spat out by a snarling big block fed by 8 barrels of carburetion.
I love the sinister cacophony bellowing from its dual exhaust while snacking on lesser engines.
And such a vicious monstrosity will one day answer the commands of my right foot.

:burnout:

You guys are on the right track with rear spacers, but kinda thinking the wrong way around.

I guess nobody has noticed the ~1.5 inches removed from the front tire to fender clearence ;)

It's ok, though, I still havent been able to get a SINGLE clear picture of the car since we finished and the only camera around is horrible compared to the normal one I use.

Take a look at these pics:




Note the HUGE gap between front tire and fender.

Now note the same gap in this pic:


Or this pic, if you can see the gap:

I guess it's hard to tell with so much black in that area with the pics being from different heights and angles

But I guess I can see the difference now that you mention it.

Yeah the py digi cam isn't helping.  Tomorrow I should be able to use the good one and it'll be much clearer (and i'll get to take pics in the afternoon!).
