    Yep, it's kinda tight in some places.

    On to the drivers side kickup, had to do some repairs in front of the kickup.
    Rust and dirt was blowing the inner and outer frame apart as you can se in the first pics.
    Made a couple of butt welds instead of the single rivit to hold the frame pieces together.
    Also i had a bad weld (made by me...) on the bottom of the leaf spring mount that i wanted to fix.

    Well the kickup is now officially done, not the smartest thing to do with the body on or after i put the trunk floor in but i can only blame myself for always being in a hurry and not thinking things thru.
    Had to put the rear axle in place and get it of the jack stands and on the ground.
    It looks alot lower without the fenders skirts when you can see how the wheel sits.
