Happy new year. Let's catch up.

The torque boxes are expanded slightly, and taper down to interface with the inner chassis supports. This is all .075" 14ga, as there's already plenty of 1/8" in the rockers and torque boxes.




Closed in, and I'm holding off on welding and blending until I get the inner chassis members measured, tacked, and ready.




A good view of my office for the last few days.


Before I can measure for the inner chassis members, or even the rear suspension, the engine and trans have to be placed.


As we looked at earlier, the engine needs a deep setback to achieve the desired weight balance. It may come forward an inch or two from this position, but the shifter location is already close to ideal (for me).


The assembly is offset to the passenger side by 1/2".


Next up: fabricating the inner chassis members and motor and transmission mounts.
