I think almost everything looks good in the weeds! Good starting point, Frank.

Not bad. I think you can get it lower if when you rebuild the interior, you only use the front half and scratch build a cover for the rear section. Maybe?

There is one problem mate, DAYLIGHT UNDER THE CAR, we both know that is not acceptable mate. Great work mate, them is some seriously big tyres to hide under that back end that's for sure, but looks like you have it sorted. Glad i'm not in this build off, there is so much serious chopping going on, it's AWSOME to watch from over this side of the world. Keep at it.

couple more pix...added some strength to the motor mounts here we see the couple bits-o-plastic that needed to be added to make the firewall and trans tunnel match up properly here we can see the width problem at the rearend. this was after filing and sanding the rear axle and wheelbacks as much as possible this is one of the ways i'll be solving the width problem...first marked a line w/sharpie and made a small pilot hole then pulled out the saw and carefully cut the line. next, we gently pried the freshly cut hole open and inserted some more bits-o-plastic and glued them in to gain some space enjoy

That is a great way to pump them babies, i have done this a couple of times now, very subtly, yet VERY clever mate. Nice bit of work on those engine mounts too. This is going to be a work of art too i think.

Lookin Good man..
Like the 1/4 treatment and the beefed up motor mounts , cool idea. Hope the 1/4s are wide enough to handle those large tires...

MAN, with those fronts aswell, you could sub it out as a road roller mate. Great work on those rears too.
