Randy, yes sir. It's getting triangulate four link in the rear with air bags front and rear. I think I purchased front boxing plates a while ago, so I think those might be able to give me a profile to reshape the front of the frame. You're so correct about that perimeter frame. I actually called them this spring, and by the time I got a basic frame with body mounts, MII cross member set up with tubular control arms, it was $3500 and 6-8 week lead time. Probably not bad, but not as attractive as the $2500 eBay price.
Dave, yeah, I get going on one and then want to make changes and go a different direction. I like you think that someday I might stay on one project. But I don't know when that'll be. I keep seeing hot rods and muscle cars roaming around and I got depressed and decided there's still some hope for the 40 before snow flies. Plus then I can keep working on small stuff or whatever. I'm sure it'll never be done as I always see something that I'd like to have or adapt to.Ryan
