    Finally got all the chassis fab work done and now it's time to take it apart for the last time I hope and get things painted and powder coated.

    Very nice! Well done! Love the wide-5's! Nice choice!

    What engine/trans are you running?

    Looks Good.
    One question. Looks like the drive shaft will hit. The chassis is clearenced in the center but the drive shaft is off center on the axle. Is this going to be a problem?

    Beautiful work. Looks like it'd be darn ridgid. I like the way you did the ZEE in the front.

    I think the picture is causing an opptical illusion. The drive shaft runs down the center and the pinion is centered.

    Yup, the frame has been powder coated, plumbed for brakes, gas and put back together. Will post pictures soon. Thanks for asking.
