Re: Idea on cleaning up the back end...
Here's an audio clip of the exhaust at idle. System is modified Clifford headers with 2.25" outlets that converge into a Y-pipe that's 2.5" on the outlet side, then back to a Flow 40 series, and then out to the tip. Truck does not sound like a 6-banger.

Re: Idea on cleaning up the back end...
Here's a quick pshop of the mod that I think will solve most of the back end's visual problem. Can ye spot the change?

Re: Idea on cleaning up the back end...
Wow, that's pretty subtle even side by side. In the second pic, I've done a pie cut of the rearmost part of the fender and pulled it down. I think this will further reduce the "full diaper" look that the back end of the truck has been struggling with.

Re: Idea on cleaning up the back end...
Subtle, but I like it.
Have you thought about getting the front of the fender flare to 'lean back' more so to speak, so it's not so upright on the leading edge. Suppose you could pie cut the front side. |

Re: Idea on cleaning up the back end...
Something like this:
![]() edit: More screwing around. Shortened the fenders lengthwise (whole photo actually cuz I suck at this), and then did your pie cut idea a bit more, and also leaned the back of the fenders forward some. Gives them a much nicer shape that works more with the shapely nature of the '67. Now, whether or not any of this is feasible, I don't know. But, it sure is purty ![]() original: Last edited by texanidiot25; 09-13-2009 at 02:07 AM. |

Re: Idea on cleaning up the back end...
what would i look like if you leaned the rear part of the fender forward to match the angle of the front fenders, and kept the
extra length at the bottom

Re: Idea on cleaning up the back end...
The only part I've ever considered leaning forward was the "tailgate" area, but actually, I think it needs some 3-dimensionality more than it needs angle.

Re: Idea on cleaning up the back end...
You know I did something similar with my 61. Same end result, but the 55-66 fenders hang much lower in the rear so I removed material from the rear to create the same kick-up. You will need to get some lower rear patch panels for the arch area (or cut up spare fenders).
