Been hitting it pretty hard past few months. Really want to drive this come summertime. Figure I've got a little better than 2 months. Finished up the floors and the firewall. Still have to finish welding, but its not going anywhere. Spent too much time on the windshield frame. The chop is 5.5 inches, and didnt think I could live with that small of a windshield. After much thought I figured I could get away with only chopping the frame 4 inches. I also cut out the bottom lip on the inner visor that hangs down. I'm mounting the fuel tank and battery in the back. I plan on putting in a bulkhead/firewall between them and pass. compartment yet. Tonite its been about rear ride height. I think I need another inch between the tire and body to account for fuel, battery and people. Once thats dialed in I can start taking it all apart hopefully for the last time. And the end result should look something like this, only nicer.
