Thanks! hopefully progress will pick up a little here pretty soon....especially once the frame arrives.

It's been a while, just been collecting parts and waiting for some frame progress, finally getting somewhere...more to follow, shortly.

Great to hear Steve!

Teaser shot. It is done and will be here next week, I will assemble and start mock up with body on it.

Finally, the frame was just delivered! Now to install the axles, center section and rear brakes. The front brake kit is on backorder for another week, unfortunately. But then I will set the body on the frame and start some mock up and figure out where I will need to make some floor adjustments...hopefully, not to much though.

Brakes are on front and rear (without calipers due to not having wheels big enough to handle them yet) and it's in rolling form. I borrowed an older LS truck motor from a mechanic friend, just for test fitting the body on the frame. We set the body on last weekend (half assed) and it looks like the only cutting I may have to do is in the trunk hump area and possibly a little at the front of the tunnel. I'll be doing the cutting tomorrow to see how it goes. Judging from how it sets on the frame right now, I can tell already that this thing is going to be pretty damn low. more pics to follow later this weekend, if all goes as planned.

That's gonna be a monster!

I have a 66 Skylark with a similar tank and filler arrangement. Let me tell you now that unless you have some sort of one-way valve on there you will be ejecting prodigious amounts of fuel.

Interesting to know...what was your solution? suggestions?

Something like this... https://www.summitracing.com/parts/dck-14949

They have others, but this gives you an idea of what you need.
