Can't wait to see it all together on the road
Thanks, yes others have mentioned the Pontiac Rally similarity before.

Good eye. I fab'd a pocked up into the body to allow the top of the tire room. That took a lot of work. I also widened and raised my inner wheel tubs to accommodate as well. Most people will not pick up on those changes as I reused my factory tubs and modified them. This represents the lowest rolling height and I still clear. If I lay out totally the top of the tire may touch. Not sure yet. Makes no difference tho as I'm touching running boards when laid out.
