Absolutely love this build and every build you guys do!!!!

For those of us that don't have the big budget to do a full off custom job, would this type of build be considered more economical for the average Joe?

If possible would you be able to send me a PM on what something like this could potentially run?

Again, great build guys. You and your shop really turn out some amazing pieces of work!!!

I noticed that when the transmission/driveshaft tunnel was replaced, the center part of the floor braces were cut out, obviously. But new ones were not fabricated to tie both sides of each brace back together. Is that not something to be concerned about? I ask because just cut mine to make room for a 3.5" driveshaft with my new T-56 Magnum in my 71 Cutlass.

Gorgeous!
Another killer build. Sits so nice and those wheels really compliment the stance and body style.

In the first post, you showed the original ride height. How much drop was dialed in?

Looking forward to hearing more about SPEC.

Gary, I'm gonna guess those cross braces are not a concern for them as they put it on a full frame chassis.

The strength of the new chassis and trans tunnel do not require the floor braces to carry all the way through.

The ride height came down just a little... Original ride heights at the rocker were 11" at the front and 13.75" at the rear. The car now sits at 6.5" at the front and 7.5" at the rear.

So, it came down roughly 4.5" in the front and 6.25" in the rear.
