As good as it looks, I'd give up being able to drive over speed bumps!

Thanks fellas! Lower than I thought it would be, but I am digging it hard. Don’t think the long tube headers are gonna work, though...

Thanks! Looks like the bed needs to come down a 1/4”. A little more low can’t hurt :metal:

Good grief! That's the exact stance I want for my '68 Paw Paw build down the road. Looks killer.

Thanks buddy! Kinda diggin’ It myself

Loosely assembled the bed, still needs a fair amount of tweaking to get it fitting right, and there’s a big hole where the floor and wheel tubs used to be... :lol:

I am following your other thread with the engine updates but its been a while. What bolts did you use for your engine on the engine stand? I tried some 10x1.5mm, 4" long because thats what I found when I researched but they seem to be about an inch too long?

thanks and such a killer build. Great attention to detail.

Sorry so late on the response. That seems about right to me. It all depends on how your stand was built, I suppose.
