Re: 53 3100 - complete rebuild and upgrade . . . .

Got the tires mounted, so got the majority of the body back on and lined up (close enough, anyway) to check clearance, get the running boards figured and generally just get an overall feel. After studying on it, the front wheels might look a little small (but they're 18x8's with 245's?) for my goal. That might just be it sitting up in the air, though, so I'll finish the running boards and get it off the jig to see. I think worse case would be fronts with a little less back space, or maybe a small spacer will work. To me the rears are perfect.

On a different note, I've been pondering taking a little of the "bulge" out of the hood. Anyone ever take a swing at that here?

Nothing to do but get back at it - thanks for looking -

Dan
