Here's a mock up of the static ride height on coilovers at ideal height for racing geometry. We're thinking to go another 1" drop in the front since this particular truck likely won't see much racing.
At this height he'll still have full suspension travel and zero worries about frame ground clearance being too little; and no old school cutting of the floor to channel the frame either. Rolling on his 305 mm front tires it'll still clear 30 deg of steering angle too. Wicked!

A couple more shots of the custom sheet metal work and the LED taillight cutouts. Coming up on the to do list: final body work and chassis assembly gets started. Stay tuned!
Moving into the door mods we're installing one piece glass to eliminate the wing windows and part of the process is filling the gap where the wing window frame was. Once the door was gutted we found it to be quite flimsy, so while we were fixing up this top area we built some support structure inside each door. We're also using Kindigit flush door handles and got the inner structures TIG welded in. Just a little more sheet metal work left and then on to finish body work.
