Particularly useful when no one's currently breaking or diagnosing
something. ;-)

Did you make the inner wheel wells stock size, or larger for more tire
clearance (should you opt for it)?  

How "nice" of a wheel well?  Just some sheet metal curved over a pattern
with squared corners, or did you hammer form and roll the sides for a
smooth bend?

Did you replace the wood floor as well?
