Been a busy week, finished the rear suspension, added the rear sway bar. Sold off the 4 factory wheels I had and bought 2 black wheels for the back. The front tires I had were too small for the rims, so I bought 2 bigger ones, went from a 255/40/20 to a 285/40/20, they fit perfect. Tomorrow I have to install the front sway bar, then we can move on to the heart transplant.

great work
great work
Gas Tank is finally mounted (22 Gal. Mustang). It took a while to box the rear frame rails, then weld in 1 1/4" box tubing, and use (13) 1/4" riv-nuts. The best part is it fit perfectly between the frame rails, so when I want to remove it, It just drops out from the bottom...

That's slick! Looks nice and clean, up and out of the way. How long will it take to drain it? Viper engine + lead foot = 3 mpg!
I'm hoping for at least 5.....

Maybe a removable cover like the later vans?
It's funny you said that . I was thinking of a removable one as well . But I was thinking a two piece . The bottom half being made from a factory removable one from a mid 70's stick or 4x4 tunnel and then fabbing up the top half ( firewall ) to mate up to the bottom half . Make it so the top half bolts in first and then the front edge of the bottom tunnel bolts to that as well as the floor . That way if he ever needs to have access to that area or the back of the engine , he does . It was just a quick thought .
