This is just tacked in for now until I get the rear positioned exactly where it will go. Part of the delay on that was getting new rear rotors and drilling them to 17/32" to fit my studs:

I can't tack the DS upper link to the frame yet either due to final rear positioning and diff location, so I moved on to making more room for the rear meats.

With this pic I tried to show how the rear wheel wells quickly taper in limiting tire space. It may not be easily seen from the pic without having seen it in person.

This is my solution. I call it a "micro-tub."

This shows the difference between the piece that came out and the one going in:
