well alittle late due too not having internet for a week but here we go

finally finished the oil pan modding

mount the rad in the back due to it being about an inch to height
you can also see how the fuel cell is now getting mounted

the actual mounts

slowly starting to shape up

start of the exhaust

then time for the flexing
bad shot but this is where the axle actually started to go under itself if that makes sence

front deff had more to go

Have to say, I'm thoroughly enjoying keeping up with this project. Thanks for the great write-up and pics stream. Looking forward to seeing this one finished.

so i only have a few photos, i thought i had taken more but i guess in the madness last week i didnt really pick the camera up as much.
Good things to note is all major fab work is pretty much finished. Just a couple hours of finish welding here and there, wiring back in, run fuel lines, and run rad hoses. only metal left to add is a few gussets and a bracket or two.
I did learn i can wave a tig torch, i just need alot more time with it.
steering just needs a gusset or two

tie rod side

axles side which needs the gussets

dropped the floor to try and get the fuel cell as low as i could, but couldnt get it below rear tube work like i wanted

hubs painted and finished..... or so we thought

then we found these were rubbing each other
