Work your way from the rear door gaps to the front sheet metal... Align your doors, assemble the front sheet metal & square, make sure the sub-frame with bushings are the ones that will be used on final assembly with radiator support,& then start cutting away..
We completely re-did the front corners on the fenders.. lots of removing & re-install.. cutting grinding & measuring.. & most important of all "PATIENTENCE" .. It will come together..

I think I have told you guys before that when we design something & machine it .. We try to apply it in different applications.. The billet reservoirs have been a great item for us..

DSE Master cylinder with booster..



Wilwood master cylinder direct mount..



How about remote mount of the reservoirs!!






Here is another pulley we machined.. I think this will be the final one for this application.. Now we need to get the rest of the pulleys..
