I got a little more time today, so I started the wide body on the passenger side, since it got welded in last week.

Obviously, I have a lot of grinding to do.

Wow very cool to see you still at it. Maybe I missed it but how much room are you gaining with the wide body? Its looking good! !

2" per side.

We started to assembly on the rear cradle.

Narrowing it, 2" total, with normal, off the shelf DSE parts, Camaro hubs and rotors. The DSE sway bar fits and doesn't hit the rear shocks, with the upper mounts moved inboard.

The DSE stuff can suck in a total of 1.66" on each side, without mods. I figured .66" is enough adjustment with the custom uppers we built.

That's all new, uncut DSE links and my custom upper arms that use all poly bushings of the same durometer. Should avoid the "multi-link walkabout" people talk about.

We're assembling it with a regular rear diff, while I finish building the 9" and shafts for the Camaro hubs.

While I finish up the grinding with lots of black boogers, my friend Giffin is assembling the chassis.

The rear is mostly done.
