I am full on confused... you're doing a 6 to 8 swap on her? and cutting out the fender wells!? I thought you were doing upgrades but trying to keep her mostly stock in overall appearance...
Stock look (keep two tone collor) All the front end is dun, front sway bar, LBP 73 up disk brakes and pulled the 7 1/4 for a new 8 1/4.. it will look stock.
