Time to get back at it...

I needed to complete the tunnel mod for the 5 speed, and finish the floorpan before finishing the torque arm.

I got the pan pulled out to finish the rocker area prep for final welding. Hoping to have the pan back in and finished in a couple of weeks.

The wheels turned out super nice.

I see you got one of this doo-dads for wheel offset measuring. I wanted too but had way too many other needs . I ended up making jigs, holding squares, tape measures and little dogs :-)

Joe, this one isn't mine. I borrowed it from a buddy who has a shop and uses it all the time that warrants the need to buy one. I would only need it this one time and therefore, weren't willing to spend the coin either. I, too, have way too many needs as well. I almost had a heart attack when I was quoted a price on a custom exhaust system.

Haven't got much done between building 500' new cattle fence, snow shoveling, etc...

Still working on upper coil over shock mount and PanHard bar mounting to frame rail. I also made a coil over jig and lightened up a 9" carrier for torque arm install.

Car is on a rotisserie so I am using Jason torino420's pictures for approximate ride height. I'm tacking everything in until I can get it flipped over for a better measurement.

A couple of pics.
