    thanks!  no water jet or any fancy cutting equipment.  all the frame and suspension brackets, etc were actually just cut out with a jig saw and clamped together after cut, and ground to the same shape.  just a lot of time and patience!

    nice, how are you planning to plumb the exhaust ,since it will be sitting on the ground?

    the exhaust will be ran through the little kick ups in the trans. crossmember, then tight next to the trans. and then in the tunnel.  i built the tunnel so that the exhaust will fit, and that the driveshaft will clear the exhaust too.  there is actually almost 3" of ground clearance at the trans. crossmember, which is the lowest point on the car.  you wont see anything hanging below the rockers, and the rockers will be extended down to where you can see a section of the crossmember.   
    Here are a few new pictures.  i just had to cut the new quarters!

    how big in diameter will the exhaust piping be? looks like it'll be pretty tight in there with 3"
