I've got the holes and a couple cracks welded up in the right rail, to get the front low i made a 7deg cut in front of the firewall and another just behind the crossmember. The pics show the cut and the welded rail sitting back on the jig to compare with the other rail.
I'm working on the left rail now and will have it done tomorrow. And i have cut out a 10" kick for the rear crossmember, i may get it done tomorrow as well.
I am having a problem with the motor placement, who'da thunk dept, it is too tall! A buddy was picking up some stuff today and looked at everything and said the motor would be higher than the cowl! I've been focusing on suspension stuff and angles etc never gave the motor a thought other than 'yup, there it is' kinda thing. That motor is about 27" tall! A sbc is about 20" from oil pan bottom to top of valve cover. I have a couple ideas that i can do and the hood could get a couple functional blisters running the full length for the cam cover clearance and that might work.
