I borrowed a couple of tires from a friend just trying to get the look & stance I want. Dont pay attention to the wheels just tire size & wheel opening gap I think it is real close.
DSCN8177.JPG DSCN8178.jpg DSCN8179.jpg DSCN8180.jpg DSCN8181.jpg DSCN8183.jpg DSCN8184.jpg DSCN8186.jpg I realize some purest will shiver at what I am doing but I want to be able to drive it any where that is why the modern running gear & hillman parts are basicly non existant here in the USA. The wheel's & tires will be 15 in so the side tire profile will change slightly on the rear.

I unbarried my chassis table moved it into place then took the casters off to set at lower to work height & leveled. Motor, trans & hopefully the interior comes out tomorror if my back will take it.
