I was wondering if I could take my rear drum over to a machine shop to have them drill out 4x108 bolt patterns, since I'm currently stuck with 3x98.

I have been contemplating building this specifically for hill climb racing. The car is practically tailor-made for that kind of competition given its featherweight curb weight of just 1,400 lbs, and I am seriously considering swapping in a Honda 1.6 VTI engine, much like the setup this individual utilized here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H39t1rrcLv8

I used spray foam as a base to make shaping the mold much easier, which provides the foundation for the fiberglass to bond to later on. Once the fiberglass cures, you simply pull the foam out, leaving you with nothing but the custom fiberglass mold—exactly how I handled those fender flares I made back in the day!!
To be honest, working with the spray foam was easily the most efficient part of the process because it’s just so simple to manipulate.
Fiberglass is what they use to build high-end boats, so I have zero doubts that my fender flares will hold up just as well...
