until I realised this piece was from another donor car, I was thinking "what the F@#$". don't scare me like that Archie. Or maybe it WAS the actual project car and now he's begging for forgivness??? 
Looks cool so far.

It's just like building a canoe out of a log. first you cut down a tree........ then you cut off everything that doesn't look like a canoe.[This message has been edited by Russ544 (edited 12-18-2007).]

Wow, I like how the windshield is pushed back, I was wondering how this was going to be accomplished. Your the man Archie...
Did the customer decide on the final color yet?

We extended the front wheelbase by some 5".
We did that by cutting off the original frame horns on the build car & cutting off the frame horns on a donor front end (5" longer) & then welding it all back together with reinforcement etc.

Are all the dimensions on the kit accurate?

The dimensions look close. Since it was designed to fit on a totally custom frame I would assume its 100% exact in dimensions. Looking great, can't wait to see more. Does the guy want to sell those Drag wheels?

Thanks for posting the pics, the car is looking great 
The one thing I am wondering is how are you going to get the correct ride hight.
By looking at the pics, it almost seams like if the body has to be "chaneled" on the frame...
I am just wondering... then I thougth I guess the car has to have all the weight on it..
I am really looking forward to this build.
Keep up the good work

I think I see a coil over in the back.... You gotta remember with no fluids, no motor, no glass, no trans, stock wheels, no interior, and a somewhat stock suspension, yeah its sitting high. You add back that 1,000lbs+ yeah, it'll come down. Tweak the suspension, get the right wheel and tire package and it'll look right.
