      Body over Frame

      Hey Brian,
      Sorry I have been distracted with looking for work after being let go just before the holidays, 16 patents over 21 years at the start up I helped start, oh well time to start over. So the productivity on the GTO has suffered a bit.
      Setting up a home office so I can try and do some freelance Industrial Design, Product Development for now. I can offer my services to forum members too with Solidworks, Photoshop, Illustrator, and concept sketches if anyone needs design help.

      Back to the GTO, the frame rails from RS are 39.5" wide over the rear end, so I ended up widening each tub 3.25" for 40" between the inner tubs. With the 345 bottomed out in the tub there was 3/4" clearance per side. You would probably be fine with 3" if you already got around to welding, but I just wanted that extra room.

      Did some initial fitting of the body today, rear of the body is still an inch and a half off the body mounts. I need to make room in the trunk for the Watts Link, and top arm of the three link. No big surprises though.
