Hey, not what you want to hear but if you want to keep those rims you are going to have to modify that guard. The rim looks to be a 0 offset making it stick out more too. Most owners i see use a grinder to fix this, but yeah its up to you.
I used a dolly and hammer on mine and basically re-formed that part with a lot of patience.
Not what you wanna hear with new paint i know!!! good luck!!

Looks good bud!

You should swap those holleys for some webers with RB intake!
also how did you manage to take the brake lines off? I stripped my bolts on the engine bay side.

yeah, webers are ok but i kinda like the 4barrel look. im actually using a Barry Grant Demon instead of Holley. I like thhe looks better and they perform alot smoother... i think atleast
