Re: my radical 60 build

Some progress:
I got the wagon body off, and stripped all the stuff I needed, the body weighed almost 2000 pounds!
I put the front clip on the frame, the inner fenders contour to the frame rails like they were made for each other, and the front bumper brackets are in the right place too.
The frame was 6 inches off the ground with the wagon body on it, now it has raised up to 11 inches.
I was hoping to chanel the body a little bit,and not do any major lowering, but I don't think the truck will push the frame down as far as the wagon did, so I will probably have to cut a few coils , and Z the frame in the front.
There is about 5 inches between thee hood and air cleaner now, so I have some room to work with.
