I cut away as much of the dash as possible to get it as low as it'll go.

Then I used an old beat up fender to mock up to see what it'll look like. I'm probably gonna have to flare the fenders if I can't find a wheel that tucks in another inch, but I'm liking how it's looking.

I pulled both rear cargo windows or for better access for the wheel tubs and stuff like that. Apparently someone has already been in there patching holes with old license plates. Since I want to delete the side chrome and make the cargo glass flush mounted, this will give me the opportunity to make the necessary mods to move the glass out a bit.

I got the body set where I want it on the floor pan, I set the dash pad on and marked where I wanted to trim the front. I think it looks great where it is.

Since I won't be able to access the front dash speaker once its all welded together , I figured I might want to replace the torn speaker while I've got the opportunity

The relay for the lift sticks every so often, and I have to smack the control box to get it to quit lifting. Well the smacking wasn't working and the car slipped off the support bar. Thankfully I had a jack under the rear of the car, so the drop was minimal. I ordered a new relay, so progress is on pause

I got a new relay for the lift, so I'm back at it. My friend ,Josh, loaned me a pair of 19x10 c6 corvette wheels to play around with. They don't stick out any further than the factory g8 wheels, which surprised me. So i guess I'll be looking at corvette wheels. I made a list of wheels and their specs, so i know what to look for. The g8 wheels are about an inch away from the coil overs, so the 10 inch wheel wouldn't go on. I'd feel comfortable with an 8.5/9.5 combo.

I had to drill out the spot welds for the package tray and cut away the inner fenders in order to locate where the fuel filler neck lines up so i can transfer the fuel door from the driver's side to the passenger side.
