little bit of an update..

Rear subframe is bolted in.

Making sure everything is still squared up.

Frame rails!

More test fitting and mockup.

It begins.

Notched out. Ended up deciding to give the tires 1/4" more clearance, which will make the headers a bit more of a challenge.. but I think its the right choice. Support is in the way so it doesnt fit in this picture. Wasnt ready to cut it out.

Closer.

and it fits.

The current state. Very minor tweaking, little bit of prep to go. I could have welded it up tonight but im not sure what to do with the front of the frame rails to tie it all together. Have to put some thought into it.. Its VERY close to rolling. Very close to getting engine and trans mounts..

One idea is to cut the front off and put my cage through it. Not sure if its a good idea yet...

This thing is wild! That V8 fits in there nicely. Will be the ultimate sleeper.
