 :clapping: What size are those rear tires? Looks great! Did you have to mod anything to fit them on? (Other than the B-Body width Dana?)

Thx everyone,hemiken I'm sure hope they get along. Lol. Yeah Dutch I figure it should work out right,

69chargermd the paint is actually a Nissan color hard to tell but a lot of metallic in it.

Brad the tires are 28x12.00x15s when I bought the car it had a spring location that was very well done,the rear is 56"axle flange to axle flange. When you move the springs under and in line with the frames one problem was that the springs end up in the exhaust valance openings so if you look closely you will notice that I had to close up the openings on the outside about an 1-1/2" to make it look nice. I will just build my own tips.   

Thx falbz.           Bruce

That is some monster meat you have on the rear and good idea about closing the exhaust opening to accomodate the moving in of the springs :clapping: Looks Phat :drool: :2thumbs:

Kind words are deserved!  Sweet car!  I am not in Canada but I do live about 45 minutes from Roseville Moparts towards Lansing.   Certainly close enough to see your car when complete!  Instead of Woodward this year, I would like to come to the Canadian show . . . But I say that every year . . .  :dunno:

yeah alan, i am shooting for sometime this year to be finished , i would like to be done buy moparfest but i dont want to rush it after all this time so realistically im thinking next spring it will be complete, this work thing always seems to get in the way of making progress but im getting closer one step at a time.

69chargermd yeah i have to do woodward for sure when the car is done                 bruce
