    There are some clearance issues there. I plan on getting that sorted out this week. i have a couple of ideas for rebuilding the bottom section of the core support, the radiator may be a little more complicated.

    The flatbed did look kinda cool, keeping it was seriously considered.

    Great build. Your work shows vision, skills, and a lot of hard work. The views of your gas tank install makes it look like the tank is pretty low to the ground. Is the bottom of the tank below the lowest part of the rear axle? Any plans for "skid plate" protection?
     
  3. With your talent it'll be great!

    thank you!

    yes sir, I drove the wheels off the fairlane so chances are you saw it around.

    At ride height the axle is about an inch lower than the tank, i do however plan on sheilding the front one way or another.

    Was thinking the same thing, I have tracked down some 50's era rear fenders so i think i may go that route.

    I'd find some FARGO name plates and really puzzle the natives. Nicely done so far.
