I think I have it figured for flares now, i've cut and stretched the quarters just a bit more, and I think with the factory lip welded back on it will clear nicely.
Anyhow, got some time to work on it today.
started adding some metal where it was missing and turned this:
Into this piece:
I got it another 1.5" at least lower today too, I'm hoping it can stay at this ride height, I will move the coil buckets if I have to. :P

Looks like progress.. I have had to start a Yahoo Group, and am working on a Pre-1973 Modified Volvo forum.. If you get a chance come check out the Yahoo Group New Vintage Volvo's . I am sure the guys there would like to see what you have going on... LOL

Yay Parts!!!
Did a bit of sanding to see what its gonna look like:
Trunk done other than where the coilover mounts go...waiting for my DOM to come in:
Ewwwwww, guess I have to build new rockers, and make them out of tube to make a perimeter frame now.
The seat of choice...Pro2000.

Starting to look like a car again, and made some coilover adapters to ditch the stock strut things.
Out with the old rusty *****:
In with the new structural *****:
2x4 .120 wall, it will become my outer frame rail and something really solid to attach a cage too.

Broke out the pressure washer sandblaster yesterday....
Then I decided I hated what it looked like.....sooooo I cut everything off.
Made new coilover mounts:
Then on to the pedal assembly,
This...
to this...
to this...
Oh and best find of the week, these zip disks are by far the best I've ever used. 7" costs only $4.14 at Raider. They cut FAST!!! and last a long ass time. Great value.
