    Finally got wheels and tires on so its a roller! Sat body on to do some measuring outside. Have to drop rear end some and then work on frame some more, move rear axle back to CL of wheel well opening, etc and etc. Making a little progress. Lot to learn as I go.

    It looks like he might have moved the body back a few inches to gain a little room for the engine.
