How tall are your tires and how low do you get to the ground with those front tubs?

the tires are 27 inches tall.. i still have about an inch or so up in the wheel tubs when its all the way down.. im running a stock crossmember and stock frame so it doesnt lay all the way down.. my rockers are about 2 inches off the ground in the front

got some more work done :metal::metal::metal:

got my new tranny pan and dipstick installed
you can see where the new mr gasket dip stick came with a plastic stick??!!?! mine was broke when i received it but i figured it would be better to just cut the stock one to the right length and reuse it.. the handle just holds it with a set screw

also added some trim on my fenders around the cutout for the wheel tubs to clean that edge up

more pics of the fender

also i ran my headlight and fan wires today and reinstalled my grill afterwards
i decided to use the factory hole in the firewall for the headlight wires. the signal wires will now come through the firewall behind the hinges.. i will get pics of that later

just finished your build, awesome is the only word that comes to mind, engine is beautiful, you definitly got some skills, inner fenders made me think of the old superbirds.. keep up the great work.
