Title: Flip flap or fenders and EMPI-lid?
Post by: Mangokid on November 01, 2006, 09:43:13 am
So, while waiting for a solution on how, and when to do the first cut in my roof making it look "right" according to the cop or not thread, I'm wondering, when did the first flip-fronts appear, and how did they look, and were they light enough to get "the job done"?

What would you do? Flared fenders all round, or flipfront? 70's gasser style calls for flaring roundbout doesn't it?

No Flip Front for me on an Gasser Style Car....
