All I can say is, WOW. The reason most would never consider this kind of project is because of the fact just about every step requires a custom fabrication of some sort. It's not just about cutting this piece of sheetmetal and welding in that one. It's things like the clutch pedal assembly, the use of the cruise control cable rather than the throttle cable, and that front suspension swap would be a deal breaker for just about anyone. I'm sure you have that figured out, but I look at those pics, and the misalignment on the frame rails, and how the inner fenders will need mods, and, and, and... I will just have to wait for the results.

I love the cleverness of the homemade notching tool. I would have just tried to muscle it in there, or use the grinder.

The car is not my thing, but I really appreciate the effort involved. It will be fun to drive, no doubt about that.
