    Rick, the axles are the same diameter as my driveshaft, your right about the coil-overs I have already checked that out and plan to use some spacers to get the clearance I need

    Rod,

    I'm not the first to say it, but I'll say it again.....You have done an awesome job and incorporated a lot of extra's that will make the reassembley and life afterwards much easier? Did you bore the extra hole in the front crossmember where the bottom radiator hose passes through? Mine only has the single hole. In your first photo's you can see a portion of your hanging body. how is it suspended and what attatching points on the body did you use?
    Again, great work and thinking ahead!

    Eddie, I did add a hole to the right side, My engine is a 289 HiPo and has the lower radiator hose on the passenger side, I had the radiator made to match. The body is raised by a chain hoist attached to the ceiling of my garage, I'll post some pictures of that later
