    few pics for update.
    Got the body back on the chassis today.

    one thing for sure is I have plenty of room for the engine

    Had to do some trimming to get it back down on the frame. This I did not see coming when I put the suspension parts in place, its no big deal though just a bit of sheet metal work.


    Trans tunnel needed to be cut out just a little bit.

    I picked up 4 donut wheels at the junk yard for $70. Cut the flat tires off and now I have shop wheels for this project.

    ok here's the latest thing I've been working on or thinking about. Center consol with cup holders GPS etc. Made a cardboard mockup to get an idea of what might work and how it would look.
