A little progress between house projects. The honey-do list seems to get longer than the car to-do list all the time, but I manage to sneak out to the shop once in a while. I have most of the chassis pieces machined up so starting to tack them together for mock up and checking against floor pan fitment. The back-half is 43" wide so it will work nicely with the ABC Performance Mini-tubs. The 68-69 Chevelles had a narrower sheet metal package than the 70-72 and should allow at least a 315 in the back. I've got to add a short piece at the back of each rail to mount the rear crossmember, but the pic shows the idea of how it will tie together.
I'm starting on the main rails now and you can see how I'm overlaying them on a 1:1 blue print to ensure dimensioning and position.
