The laws are as crazy there as they are in Canada, I hope James (Nuke1) chimes in on this thread!!! It is looking sweet already, of course we are looking for some technical frame cutting and tubbing advice from you! Great start to an awesome project!!!

that is a great color and looks teriffic being the steering is on the wrong side it gives a real good view of the ditch to the driver.

today i dummy fitted the diff with the new lowered springs and the one inch lowering blocks . took some measurements and worked out i need to shorten the diff two inches. i noched the chassy 3/4 in to fit the bb motor stands . fitted a 71 e brake ass . started to dummy fit the front stabilizer. mounted the power booster and started to mount the accelerator pedal next job is to mount the t400 crossmember.
