Wow, I haven't updated this for a while. Not like it matters because the car still isn't done and is a huge project still. I may have side lined it for some other builds. Poor car.

These pics are from December of 2017. I put in a Ford 8.8 in the rear but I recently changed back to a Ford 9" because I wasn't thrilled with how I was going to have to do the upper mounts. Plus I would have had to cut the floor severely because the drive shaft was going to be into the floor instead of the tunnel.

This was also the first time the car sat on it's own 4 wheels for a long time. It only had 4 bolts from the body into the frame then as well.
