Since the closing of Auto Club Speedway in Fontana for the next 18 months min., I live just 6 miles north of the front gates. I decided to make some small changes to my tracked mustang to make it more street able. I moved the inside tire well diff cooler and to under the car, (I will show that in a later post), So with that space inside the trunk I can now put a spare tire inside the spare tire well where it belongs. However I use a full size tire and wheel, ( 285/35-19 ), Here is what I did to fill in the gapes between the tire and the housing. I made it out of shower board (home depot), and trunk carpet (Ebay). Just message me if any questions.

Reminded Me of the Urban Legend of a Guy Selling a Teapot or the Like on Ebay Some Years Back and Buyers Seeing His Nude Reflection in the Item Pic! I Read Later Someone Bought the Item and {Then Pulled Out and Left Him Hanging} Ya, I would say that Listing was Pulling a Boner!

I really like how well it turned out as well... Meanwhile, thanks for sharing and will be looking forward towards the diff cooler pics
Here is the cooler in the "best place" IMO for track use and I will film an overview of its new location, (between the rear swaybar and undertray electronic), this weekend which is what I call a street, autocross and canyon setup.
