On many cars this is completely mangled and bent up because people don’t know how to properly jack up the car. Fortunately for me the bolts were in good shape and the fender was not mangled.
With these last bolts gone, the fender simply comes off.
On to the side skirts!
I had never been behind this trim piece, and I was concerned that the side skirt was super double stick taped to the car, or something that would be equally hard to get off. I was fully expecting to have to destroy the skirt to remove it. But, first things first, and this trim piece came off.

This car has come a long way, and it seems still has a long way to go. Great article!
You’re not kidding @MattAtRedondo ! Sometimes you have to step back and look at the long path you took to get you are before you can appreciate it.
Just don’t try to add up all the dollars you spent. That’s a bad idea!
Those wheels look amazing. As an aside, you really should always run valve caps at the track. I run the little plastic ones because as you mentioned – every ounce counts.
I’ve had debris or dirt get into the stem from an off track excursion and cause a deflation. Caps eliminate that possibility. Looking forward to the next installment.
@Rob Evans – oh, that’s actually a brilliant thought. I never would have considered it. I’ll pick up a baggie of plastic caps!
Great article! I’m subscribing to see how it goes!
