Hey Chad! Looking Good!:thumbsup:

Thanks Bill. Here is more to look at.

It's time to get the bed on the truck so that some more of the chassis mounted components can get mocked-up. Check it!

The front bed panel is about as flat as the ocean during high tide! Since the bed floor will have to be moved up, this is a piece I will be recreating myself. There is no way I could do worse. Well, I say that now!

This is a 275-45/20 we had laying around. The actual tire will be a 295-45/20 so this is close. It's coming together, I really like the position of the tire in the wheel well. This is really the first time all these pieces are getting mocked up and I see I didn't blow it with the chassis layout.

Next, I get to start figuring out the correct bed floor placement and then on to the fuel tank design. Tail pipes can be roughed in as well. Thanks for watching!

This is HUGE!!!!!! Mounting the body and bed!!!!

Nice...............

Hey Chad,great work like the x and triangulation in the center section of the chassis.I noticed a modified fr bumper and wheels in your first pics,I am using a howe late model fr clip and wide fives on my chevelle pro touring build,I see alot of stockcar influence in your build which is what Im trying to,Rich

Good eye. Alot of circle track knowledge can be put to good use in Pro-Touring builds. Thanks for the kind words. You need to start a build thread.

I have one, its https://lateral-g.net/forums/show...php4?t=20722,I have to update it Ive got the whole center section done and the rear clip is almost done,and modifying A M 3 link rear suspension,Rich
