Now that will be fun, if you guys need any help with the running side let me know as we have done a bunch of LS-9 Cars here and they are super fun to work with.

Cool build, sure it is nice to start with a clean example rather than the typical rusted buckets most projects start out as. That thing is going to supprise a few on the streets.:thumbsup:

One day I hope to have the $$ to have RS build a car for me, stunning work as usual.:hail:

Looks awesome!

I was curious what you were going to do with the rear floor, I did the same on my Brougham. Not much else you can do since that rear floor drops clear down to the the bottom of the rockers.

With the IRS and wheels/tires that big can you just unbolt the shock and swaybar to drop the spindle down enough to get the wheel on?

It is tricky on the cars with the low rear wheel openings. We will probably experiment with the wheel backspace to find the right balance of access/looks to get some clearance.

...or have the body hinge like a funny car...

The Broughham is looking great BTW!
