Default This spoiler made in Paint program.. Whatcha think?

The car doesn't belong to me but it is close to what I have in myhead of what I want to make... NOW spoilers for these cars are kind of nill... I was curious, how would you all rate this one * drew in paint*



The other spoilers available are the Ducktail~400$ the Fiberglass 69~300$ and the plastic 69~120$

So I make my own!!! Somehow... for wide body fenders... Whatcha think?

Thanks!

BBOOOOOO!

Dont like the fender flares either. They were great in 1978 though.

I like the flares but the wheels and tire size doesn't warrant them. Looks like you're running 8" wheels with 4" backspacing which would be good for a 1" flare. You could run 10" - 11" wheels with those flares. I put 17x9s on my car and still didn't need flares that big.

You've already done too much. Just my opinion.

The car looks nice, but a rear spoiler on a 65-68 coupe just does not look right. Sorry to say it but would just look like extra crap stuck on it.

If you're going to make your own, you might want to consider a spoiler off of an 00-04 model. I saw one at the MCOH show this year. I think the guy had to cut a section out of the middle of the spoiler in order for it to fit onto his '67 convertible. It wasn't my cup of tea, but I thought it looked better than the spoiler you're considering.

Tonight I'll check to see if I took a picture of that car.

That's a wing, not a spoiler, and it should not be on a 65-68.
