    It might be worth checking out...depending on the backspacing of your wheels. My 9" rearend is 57.25" between wheel mounting surfaces. I tried the 17x9 steelies from my truck on the 37 at one point. I don't remember exact details of the fit but I got them on.
    You have the Explorer rear, right? I think that's a little wider so it might not work....

    Yes I do, and that is my concern. If I remember correctly, it's 60" wide and my wheels are 0 off set which is 5".

    I tried putting one of my steel rear fenders on this morning. It won't fit. I'll have to widen them about 2" or so to get them to fit. I might mess with that after the body and frame are 1 again.

    Yeah, but I expected it. Worst case I run the fiberglass fenders until I get the steel ones done.

    With everything going on and things breaking etc, I haven't been able to devote the time I need to on the 40. But I am still picking at it when I can. I am set up to put the rear notches in now. Hopefully in the morning I can get them tacked in place.

    I finally made some time and got the rear notches installed. I need to get after this thing if I want to drive it this year.

    I think it looks better now. Now I can move on to mounting the engine and trans. Then I'll make sure my drive line angles are where they need to be and I can mount the air bags on the rear axle.

    Anyone know how to rotate the dumb pics? They're right on the computer but not when I submit them here.

    Nice progress! On the pics, I've had the same issue lately and it seemed no matter how I "pre-rotated" a picture it would be off when uploaded, especially on FB. Found that if I removed the properties and personal info, it tended to play nice. in your photo album, right click, go to details tab, then you should see "remove properties and personal information" down at the bottom. If picture is open when you right click properties it defaults to the details tab. In mine, once details are removed it would save a copy of the same picture minus said info, just upload the copy and the issue went away.

    I think the fat rear fenders look good. Why are you considering putting the steel ones back on? I like fat and lots of rear tire. Remember you are not running some 4 cyl in that rod. Hemi has mean written all over it and the car needs to look it.

    8" at the fenders, how about the lowest spot on the frame?

    Looks like fun tho'!

    At some angles when you look at the wide fenders, the wheel openings seem larger than stock so it makes the rear wheel and tire look small IMO. But the biggest gripe I'd have to say is the way the fender bulges out instead of just coming out and down like a stock fender does. I like the tire to be just inside the wheel opening if I can. I definitely don't hate the way it looks so I'm going to run them and later on I might widen the stock fenders and see which looks better.

    Hopefully this week I can get it outside and take a pic of it with a running board on. I didn't measure the frame to ground yet. It' low enough now that my braces I put under the frame before I cut the old X member out way back when, now is touching the ground. I did get some pretty heavy duty bump stops for this too. They're supposed to be progressive but we'll see. They are pretty darn stiff and you can't really smash them by hand power.
