Hot Rods Rear wheel radiusing.. let's see em!

I was thinking it'd be cool if we had a thread showing different rear wheel radiuses. As an aside, how much of the wheel/tire do you guys like to see sticking out past the fender? I know it comes down to personal preference but I'd like to hear other people's opinions.

 

I'll play. Many '57 owners don't even catch this. Took a set of crappy front fenders. Grafted the wheel openings to my quarters.

 

Two from the Tri Five Nationals this year.

 

Great thread idea, i have been thinking about this for a O.T. 68' Dart.

 

Here's my Morris Minor Gasser project . Had to radius the wheel wells to clear the slicks. Used bead roller to form flares then a hammer and dolly to smooth them out. Raised the opening 3 inches. Big advantage with bolt on rear fenders.

 

Back in the early '70's on a '63 Falcon HTP I took front wheel arches from another Falcon , and worked them onto the rear. Wanted to show off my TT's.....

 

A few classic '68 Hemi Dart examples

 

One I was building years ago.

 

I am debating re-doing them on my '60 Falcon, after finishing rebuilding what the texting teenager did to it.

I have the parts, but I am running out of energy.

some wild Falcons

 

I'll play.

 

They do look really cool. Mine looked like posts #7 and #10, for a week or so.

That's the downside of custom body work on the street. Once I get the quarters re-skinned, I will see if I am up to doing it all over again.

 

I remember the old baseball bat trick to get more clearance.

Dad's old Austin Healy w/ 426 max wedge. Sold it in 1969. Wish I could find it..

 

Falcons w/radius shoulda been a factory option. Just seems right!
