      Looks great!

      How long until you expect it to be out taking some shakedown trips?

      That looks really good! How much mini tubbing did you do? That was a pretty cool idea to flip the body mounts to the inside like that.

      Thanks

      The tubs are around 2.5 inches or so. I thought the flipping of the mounts was a good idea as well. I have a fabricator buddy doing the work so I cannot take the credit.

      The style of that dash and the gauges are just perfect for that car - very cool.

      Awesome, what about those thin frame rails over the axle? I know there isn't alot of stress there, but I was afraid to go that thin. I cut mine right along the parting line of the two halfs. I think it gave me right at 1.5" each side. What thickness metal did you use to plate it?

      I believe it was 3/8" or 1/2" steel plate over the axles. I was a little concerned as well because I am used to seeing the wider "stock" frame width. The fabricator said it would not be a problem at all. The rest of the frame, including the rear rails has been boxed as well.

      Thank you. I looked online for different layouts and decided that setup modernized it but still kept it somewhat "in keeping" with the car.
