Us Car tools stiffening kit has come on and the rocker panels are lowered a little over 2 inches.
Also made ​​some new pieces in the floor so I get the seats lower.

Thanks guys! :)
Have got a lot of inspiration from builds on this forum  :thumbsup:

Rushforth Wheels


6.5" lip



Needed a minor mini tubbing to get enough clearance to the 345 tires,so widened the wheel wells 1 3/8" and then got around 1"+ clearance on each side of the tires.

I finally got my new rear axle delivered!  :woo:
It's a 9" Moser, 3,70 ratio, Wavetrac , 31 Splines, Aluminium 3rd member & HD housing.
It was good to finally put the wheels on and see how they fit and that clearance isn't a problem  :thumbsup:
