And so it begins!! started the teardown today.....

[Sam Colalillo]

I know that the spot I boxed lines up perfectly with the portion of the frame where the crossmember bolts, its no wider that that spot is....Hmmmm, Now im all nervous.

I boxed mine in that way and it fits.

I boxed mine in that way and it fits.

do you have any pictures? I just want to make sure this is gonna work before I finish it!

This is what i have done as boxing so far, Im not sure if its gonna work.....

 

[Sam Colalillo]

Here is a picture of my boxed in frame. This is before I put the hole in it for bushing acess. Your frame is boxed in the same way. Mine fit up into the fit up into the chassis just fine. Also a picture of the body back onto the frame.

Yes, if you install the plate on an angle without extending the top rail it will fit. But if you extend the rail the frame will hit. It was hard to tell from the pics, just trying to make sure no mistakes were made. I am not trying to freak anyone out.

Always good to have people looking out for ya. especially with the amount of work it would of entailed when he got to the point of dropping the body on, if he had a fitment problem

Hell Yes! It means more to me than I could say!!

 

[boostingbuick]

Thank You, Really. That meant alot to me even after I caused some fear in the process. I just want time to be good to us, not wasted. And being the one who has make that mistake makes me mad just to think someone else would have to go though it.

Looking great. That car will be very stiff. I can't tell you how happy you will be when its gone. :smile:

 

[BetMinesFaster]
