For this update I will cover the rear fender area and a few other small things.
First is a pic of the car that I like, Shows the longer wheelbase with the front wheels pushed out.

For the rear fender I have tried to cary the theme from the front arch into the rear. Once again I used oval tubing and bent it to shape. The hard part here was getting the radius the same as the tire once at ride height. I wanted aprox 2" opening around the tire, so a dummy motor was put in and ride height was set.

I used a fender and cut it up so it would work with the new wheel arch.

Here you can see the opening around the tire, it then blends into the apron angle to the rear of the tire.
