YAH MAN,if you aint making sparks you aint working,the easy route would have been to call Art Morrison and order mandrel bent rear frame rails and a center rail kit for their max-g chassis,but Id rather create all the curves and turns by cutting, shaping,welding and grinding,later Rich

This my intended ride height,4", Ive made provisions in the rear suspension to raise it to 5 and 6",the body is channelled so its even with the bottom of the rails,and all the components will be tucked up in the frame,Im going to build the headers so they dont hang down below that plane.Does anybody with completed projects with a ride height this low have any other precautions I should be aware of,thanks Rich

Back problems are no fun, I broke mine years ago.. Wishing a speedy recovery for you.. and not just because I want to see more of this build

Man I love what you are doing with this car so far. It is the same direction I want to go with my build. What is the thickness of the 2x4 frame rails you are using? I was thinking about using 2x3 .083 wall, but after seeing yours I think I might do 2x4 as well since it allow me to hide the exhaust
