Frame Updated:

The frame needed to be stiffened.  The frame was to flexible.  So I added a 1" tube just above the main 1.5" frame rail tubes.  It is plenty stiff now.  I am cutting the grooves in the body so the drive-line and frame rails have a spot.  I also took off the sub-frame above the rear suspension.  I am going to have a piece of steel fabricated so the shock mount is moved to a location so the frame will be sitting in the right location from the ground.  Lot's and lot's of details to work out.  But it is so relaxing and fun. 

Here is the wheel I have chosen for the front.  I hope to have them ordered soon.

Labor Day work on body and engine placement:

.

Plenty of leg room

I had to move the engine back 8" so I would have room for the rack and pinion.

Body cut out for the engine so we could fit the rack and pinion in front of the engine.

Trunk lid closed.  I will need to adjust the hinges.  The left side is up .120" above the body.

Trunk lid mounted to hinges

Before trunk lid.

Finally mounted the hinges to the fiberglass body.
