yes.

the mass appeal video was real real dope

 

I didn't say that reshaping a fender to accept larger tires was the definition. That may have been included in the link I posted, but my definition was not that narrow. I said reshaping a fender. I should have gone further, apparently, and indicated that it means to make the arch more round. Usually it is to raise the arch, but -most literally- it is changing the radius of arch, which creates a broader,taller opening. I did indicate my belief that clearing big tires was the reason it was done on the posted race cars. the wheel arch on those cars was raised, but it was also widened.

can't imagine his influence for this one:


I plundered most of his coolest renderings, but here's the link:

That last rendering made me lol, would piss a hell of a lot of people off if actually done.

 

that is fucking bad ass, that and the other silver one with the teeth= awesome

 

Just sayin.


Anyway, whatever.. the point is people are throwing around that term because it was posted on "stanceNation" or "Inserttrendybloghere" and really have no idea wtf it is or what it involves. The definition is actually quite narrow, there is really nothing broad about it. It's a simple concept, but a complicated execution.

While it's true American Hot Rodders have been using the technique for years, it has gone largely unnoticed or at the very least people don't really realize what it is they are looking at. Which, for all intents and purposes is the point of doing it.

 

Word -when done right only someone very familiar with the model would know it was different. Same w/ other mods done on kustoms (pancake-ing, shaving, sectioning, pie-cutting...et al), if your mom can't tell that there's anything different it's done well.

 

 

 

Dear God, they've done it again. I don't keep up with bikes much anymore, but they've ALWAYS been the sexiest of the sexy. Jeez.
