It's gonna be a killer Marcus! That stance picture is perfect! I'll be glad to get back on mine soon. I have a winter project that I'm doing for extra cash. Your build is making me work faster. Lol!

I'll trade you my frame for your body. I've always wanted a convertible A-body.

No big update guys. Just setting the ride height and test fitting the engine and tranny. Also adjusting the rear track width.

Test fitting the engine...



This will be the ride height on the rear...



Hear is where we adjusted the rear track width outward by 1". At first the rear wheels were too far inward. My chassis builder made it where the the rear track width was adjustable just in case I ever wanted wider or narrower tires. If you look closely you can see where the rear upper control arm mounts, you will see four, little spacers. They are just for mock up only. We will machine a 1" plate to go in there. My chassis builder made the rear lower control arms adjustable also. I'll include some old pics from back in the thread so y'all can see what I'm talking about.

Before the 1" spacers...


After the 1" spacers...


This is where the rear lower control arms adjusts outward. Each mounting hole is 1" outward. Hence, the 1" spacer plate in the upper control arm. Therefore, every hole you move outward on the lower control arm, you need to add a 1" plate to the upper control arm.
