Ok eye was given clean bill of health now back onto the build ..12/7/08 update finally got the body mounted to the frame and now its a roller again ..first mounted the pass rocker then i fabbed up the dropped crossmember mounts ..1/8th plate and i cut up a piece of frame into 4 pieces and welded to the rockers for the rear..as for the front i made up some 1/8th plate mounts for the firewall so i could mount some roll bar to front frame ..at the moment this will support the front until i make the headers and exhaust then i will tie the frame to the rockers..anyway here are some progress pics....
