The way our drop version of the frame works is that it drops the body over the frame and drivetrain which is why it was necessary to modify Payton's firewall and trans tunnel. The exhaust will be the lowest part of the car but Payton's going with a 3 inch to breath that strong LS motor he'll be running. Still I don't believe there will much of a problem if any.I'm out of town so the photos are the first time I've seen it on the ground. I'm almost as excited as Payton is. Can't wait to see it in paint Payton. Ed

Hmmm.. that frame would make for a great tech story.. test the 68 with the fatman frame and Mustang II suspension then install the 21st centrury unit and show what kind of gain there would be. should be easy to quantify.. then pull the heavy BB and put in a high HP LSx motor and show the gains from getting hundreds of pounds off the nose.

Looking good Payton.. can't wait to see more progress
