that will be tight with turbos! twin or single? i think you need the fbody set up as that puts the alternater down low and the ac is low on pass side, are you running the f body oilpan too?

two turbo's, I have a few diagrams of the front accessory drives to measure it out to see what will fit; thanks for the tip on the fbody setup!
and yes I will be running the f-body oil pan.

I have some other work to do on the engine, more pics when I can.:thumbsup:

stretch
 
lots of engine work right now and still stretching the body, its taking a bit of time but I want to make sure it flows nicely when its all finished.

This is before modifying the original panel:

and first attempt at the arches:

And now... Top of the rear quarter looking toward the back of the car with rough alignment:

The transition is starting to look better:

And the wheel clearance, wheels are about 2" below ride height in this image.

I am waiting for parts so I can put some time in over the holidays.

One more :)

I have a few options for drive shafts but for now I have converted the 3 spline output shaft to a 1350 flange yoke.

Ugh...Makes me want to work on my P1800. I finally got my wheels in the rear mounted. I'm jealous of these posts. Looking Good!

Just a tip. When i do metal fab and Im building something pretty much from scratch I'll use 1/8 or so metal round rod. I can bend it easily and it can show you the lines without building the entire panel and deciding it doesn't look good or you just wanted it a bit different. Plus you can tack weld your sheet metal right to it. You can build a whole panel this way. I know there are different ways to do it but I use this method.

Thanks for the tip - I will give it a try!

I noticed that little brown P1800 in the background of one of your build updates. Thanks for the compliment.

Yeah, its definitely in the background. I wanna just bust out the metal fab on it just so I can drive it. Lowering springs and metal work. Done. I doubt I will have the time to do what I really wanna do to it. For now I live vicariously through your build.
