Here are some pic's of the finished install.....Everything went smooth except for one issue.....I wanted to keep the ride height just as it was.......the Coil-over shocks that were shipped with the kit set the ride height when they were fully extended........so....Donnie ordered a new set that were 2" longer ........The kit was designed to work with the shocks as delivered and with the 9" Ford rear in the car, the yoke is lower than a Chevy rear........So.......With the longer Shocks the triangulated bar now hit the driveshaft yoke.......They to make a bracket to lower the bar to get it to clear........The Gas Tank is installed and the fill tube all hooked up......Here are some pic's before the wheels and tires are installed

Donnie and the crew at Frame-up did an outstanding job on the Nomad.....Changing to the 4 link set-up made a lot of things happen.....Gas Tank change......eliminating the spare tire well......and Trashing out the brand new exhaust system that doesn't fit anymore.....Anyhow.......I haven't driven it yet, but...here are some pics of the car back on the ground.....

Here's a picture showing the spare tire well removed and the new gas tank installed........I'm having a new drop in pan made that will be panel bonded in place.........there is still room above the tank for the pan to be 4" deep for some storage......Also the new Glide Engineering seat frame and seat foam assy arrived today........

Finally got the pan to fill in the spare tire well.........It will be installed early next week and back to the exhaust shop next Thursday ............Then off to Nicky Chicago for Tuning..........

All the extra storage in a wagon is worth the work to get it. I know you said you were mounting ithe pan permanently, or have you changed your mind so you have access to the tank and pump?
