Looks good. What size did you go with? For a drag car I'd have thought you'd go with a narrow tire. |

Ok, I don't blame you. Rob likes how low it sits, but didn't see the bottom beam clamps holding the front up off the ground. :wink: He likes how it's moving along though. 8) |

| That is because it isn't clamped. |

| The ride height target is 4 inches at the bottom of the frame head and 3.5 at the bell housing at the rear. So, more rear adjusting to come after the new rear subframe is installed. |

So, still moving forward:
The exhaust is on its way
The front suspension is complete.
And the rear IRS changes are happening

So have you checked your CV clearance yet? Just asking as you are building a Drag car with that rear sub.
The rest of the parts look good, and the beam looks good bolted in place. |

Seat/base position is set. So, after the body goes on, the seat will be mounted and then on to wiring... woot!

| Yup. 1965. The nose will go lower, but it was easier to move at that height. |
