Got a few pics today, kinda shows how the body attaches. Used 4 wheel drive lift blocks to locate the rear while I get the coilover mounts made. It almost seems impossible to make that body look good with that much drop, but that is what I said about the Mustang

I made new inner rocker panels, with nuts welded to the inside, then welded tubes through the frame. Kinda time consuming but I love that the body comes off.

I find it easier to build the perimeter portion of the chassis first, then I have something square to work off of. I'm sure the Morrison would have a more high tech, way to do it, I find it hard to keep something square with all the welding.

Main hoop got bent and tacked in tonight, the front bars started, Looks pretty good, need to get the watts link calculated before I get the rear bars in.
