pro street progress
well got the body on so i can do a little more measuring and planning. what a pain. 6 guys and an engine lift took us two hours then another two for me to shift things around. when it comes back off i will figure something else out.
Not a lot of room in there.
I'll make a fiberglass tub inside .
I'm not sure how much stock stuff I will keep in the interior. Probably cost more to keep vette stuff in there then just building something totaly custom
I'm OK with the way the front sits.
Think I can pull the wheels up into the wells a couple more inches by adjusting how the 4 link is set.
I turned 48 saturday. I'd like to be driving down the road with this view before I hit the big 50.

Happy birthday!
Sounds like a reasonable goal... driving that thing before you turn 50.

Reset the 4 link so the rear sits lower over the wheels by a couple inches. I think this is the stance i am going with.
