Re: 8.50 index build
At this point the major part of the tube work was done and the body needed to come off long enough to weld any area not accessable with it on.

Momentous occasion. First time sitting on 4 wheels since it arrived at my house in stock form.

Re: 8.50 index build
From here on out, the project was just working through one small project after another in which there were many.
First up was mounting the Racetech seat.   Mockup block removed and the engine out of my Malibu set in place.   Hood clearance issue...will get back to that later.  Brake pedal mount.   Removable transmission crossmember and mount.     Front driveshaft loop.
