update

got the rear shackles welded in ,removed the mounting for fuel tank i think it was over kill its getting a re think ,now got to finish the clean up and paint the under side before the rear goes in .then i can figure out back spacing and wheels

update

well shes sittin on rear tires now, got more of the under side primed,looks like its gonna be 15''x10'' with 8'' offset wheels to fill the fenders . the idler arm arrived from rockauto its a moog part for half the price vs. local parts store . next the front end gets some attention , well back to the grind :buffer:

That's looking great. I can already see the front wheels coming up in the air when you get it running.

like some other members this is my favorite thread. Ive been logging on to check out your progress every couple of days since september, when I first found it. I have to say that what you are doing is absolutely amazing. Its too bad you dont have videos of your work because this is something I would pay money to see in a theatre, great job!!!!!

[roadrunnerman]

I like what you have done. Did you have to reposition the angle of the braces for your wider wheel wells?
