Project update
Got the rear end put together, brakes on but not the lines yet. Dropped it on the ground to check out the stance - dang it's low! I love the way the Chassisworks headers hug the body - they can't get up any higher. The rear end is up pretty high considering 3" drop springs, but I'm told it settles after driving. Plus, no gas tank yet, or decklid, interior, etc.

Rad core support
I was just noticing that your rad core support has the bushings and bolts on the opposite side from mine. My bolts on the engine side, or do I have the damn thing sitting on there backwards? Was yours modified for the Chassis Works subframe? Here's mine.
The car looks fantastic by the way. Now you've got we wondering if I've got things on wrong.
Chill, Noel

Looking at the frame, wheel turning clearance shouldn't be a problem. I'll be able to verify soon when I jack it back up.
Noel, that's probably me! I just stuck on the rad support one night late and probably got it backwards. That would explain why the fenders didn't seem to line up...
Thanks guys for the comments - none of my friends are into cars and I've done all this work all by myself with only you all to learn from and share with!

Looks like it is coming together well. I like those wheels too.

I love the stance your car has... nice work.
