    Ive been posting on some of the details Ive been working on for the 40. Heres what the she looks like now. I still need to center the rear end, set the pinion angle and paint and plumb the rear end, then the ch***is is done except for the rest of the exhaust and drive shaft. The rear end is todays project.

    I need to get to it and hopefully have a better pic or 2 to share.

    Very clean looking ch***is. I especially like the tire clearance you've got between the rear and the frame. Looks like just the right amount without giving away any positive space (toward the fender lip). Keep posting pictures of the build.

    Actually its a little too close back there. I need to space them out just a tad, the tires are going to rub the front of the inner fender. Inmy excitment when I first purchased the car I started odering parts before it even arrived. And the wheels were one of those. Live and learn I guess.
