Hey guys i want to get my miglia arches fiber glassed in and extended so that they cover the whole wheel arch i also need some body work cut out so my 13x7's can have a full turning circle. i was wondering if anyone knows any custom body work places around Newcastle or if anyone here has some experience and they would like to do it.
I went to a place called Kingpins kustom paint and panel but they wanted $1800 to do it, i dont know the going rate for body work like that but it sounded alot to me, so im looking for other people i can compare prices to.

Thanks guys

Pazzati proved what lots of us have been saying for years about big wheels :lol:

Mind you there's big wheels and then there's BIG wheels. 23 inches is just a wank (hey, most people would be proud of 10 inches). Even their 'standard' wheel that they were comparing to was 19 inches.

mate get the templates and give it a shot your self its not rocket science, unless you dont have a useful bone in your body, then its maybe time to hand it over to someone else but where is the fun in that, if you make a mistake then you learn from it and you defiantly wont do it again.
:lol: Just a thought, if you want to ask any questions im sure everyone will be more than happy to help. Even if its how do i put the disk in the grinder hahah.

Enjoy,

Bill
