Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread

does the tubing size look the same front to rear? I'm pretty sure the cpp piece is 2".Mine has to be at least 2" to be strong enough for my setup.Fyi your rear suspension moves in an arc when it goes up & down hence the slip joint

Great build. Keep up the good work.

Hope the buggy sells soon and for what you need to get out of it.

How much above the bed floor do the tops of the notch sit?
