We have made a lot more progress on the car than the we have on build thread over the past few weeks. So, here is a big update to get this one brought up to its current state.
Here is the area of the rear footwell that needs to be modified for the frame rail to pass through. We have fabbed a sheet metal channel that is welded into the floor for the frame rail to pass through. We also add an extra body mount in this location.
A complete view of the required floor modifications to install the chassis into a stock body. You can also see the reinforcing plate with the hole drilled for the new body mount.
A view from underneath
The car was also fitted with deep wheel tubs. Here you can see the front corner of the trunk (that was modified on the previous page) has been welded up and ready for metal finishing.
