Bracing up...
 

Installing the bracing. Wasn't quite sure what to do with the trunk sheet metal and the firewall so I left a lot of it rough.

I added some sheet metal to the inside of the rocker area before setting the body on the frame.

Sizing up the frame.
 

This was the first go around with the frame when I first received it...it's changed a lot since. The wheels were built for test fitting...

This was all really rough just to see what I was working with. The body came back off shortly afterward.

now your talking. Looks good. Just the right height to be called crazy.

I like the rear glass but stock looks bad ass flush mounted.

Haha...I see I was beaten to it.:thumbsup:

Thanks Vince

Oil Pan Mod
 

So, since I decided to put the biggest motor I could get my hands on in a frame that was built for a small block, I had to notch the pan to clear the lower control arm mount on the pass. side. I made the cut and prepped it and had my buddy weld in the new panels. It was a good fix and came out clean. The next plan is to cut it in half and take about an inch out of it for some piece of mind while going down the road...it hangs low.
