dont forget to test fit the hood periodically to ensure things aren't moving with welding heat and shrinkage.
looks like you have this in the bag. thanks for posting up pics too.
The tire I have now are 275/55r22 on the front, converting overall diameter and width comes out to be 31.4 inches tall and 10.46 wide or something like that.
Since the tires just rub now, I fiqured if I went could go to a narrower tire and do some other mods I would gain a comfortable clearance to the fenders so I know I for sure won’t be any bigger of a tire. Since being 22 in rims options are limited especially if I don’t want to spend $1000 a tire. What I’ll ate it’ll end up with is a 29 inch tall and 9 inches wide hopefully won’t look to small in the big opening and also have the benefit of being closer to the ground

I like threads with lots of pics so trying to do the same!
