      You better make some room in that tunnel for the driveshaft and u joints. I've had mine lightly contact under full accel when I had the coil overs a little low.

      very true, we just discussed that today and are making provisions for that very issue, we are going to modify the tunnel and square it up some which will help not only for clearance but also give us a better platform for the center console which is going to split the back seat as well.

      Auto Rad Aluminum Core Support

      I received pictures today from the fine people at AutoRad that my core support is near completion, I should hopefully have sometime late next week, as this is the only missing piece to finishing the metal work, there will be a few suttle changes made to the chassis to accomodate this support since we have raised the front section of the chassis up 2.5". were still trying for the early July paint date.

      core support


      the top core is the standard unit with two 1" lines, we are going with the other core which offers two 1 1/2" lines. this combined with dual electric fans should keep things pretty cool.

      few more changes

      A few more changes to the rear were needed to get the ride height in position,

      from this


      to this, custom made box sections were installed to widen out the mini tubs and create more clearance
