These photos show the "trunk" floor cut out and the OE rear assembly removed, which is the beginning of the of the process.
More progress soon. |

Moroso 28" front with Billet Specialties Street lite wheel at approximate ride height.
Moser 9" bare housing with overlength axle tubes. This allows installing the axle bearing ends in just the right place. The tables are my trusty, high milage, old, construction tables that have endured many builds. |

Ladder bars also require a properly setup front suspension.

Smooth, easy movement, plenty of travel, minimum bump steer and the proper stance.

Once the rear wheel wheels arrive the rear section work will begin. I want to be sure of the framework required for the Hoosier 30 x 10.5 radial. I think a sectioning/narrowing of the frame will be sufficient. The wheels will arrive in about two weeks.
