Sounds familiar, I think quite a few of us on have gone down that path start doing a quick tidy up and end up doing a full rebuild, frustrating at times but all worth it in the end.  Smiley Smiley

Tubbs finished
We went into the fuel filler area a bit but im not too concerned as im making a solid pipe and will have a bolted flange thru the body to seal the back then flexible to the tank.





Quite clearly the drivers side welds are better than the passenger side   Wink

Big thanks to Aaron to get passenger side finished.

Photos are fuzzy as my camera on my ph is scratched and its a pain in the arse to load picks the old photo bucket way.

More tommorow

I have to cut up my nice gearbox crossmember so i can get the exhaust to clear so i cut some nice U shapes on the waterjet the will go over the top of the exhaust so i dont have any hanging bits.

Also cut some rings that are drilled and tapped and step 2 350W 2 way woofers into the doors 20mm step back so we can do a nice door trim to hide the speakers as i dont want any modern grills mounted on the front.
I will dyna mat all the insides of the doors so i get a good sound.

Ordered my wheels today
My question is who is running 17 inch rims
What series tyres are people running with 17s
Fronts im thinking 225/40/17 7inch rim
Rears are 245/40/17 8inch rim
can now get 265 under but only just.

Hopefully John helps here need ratio selection for the diff
So I want a good highway runner but sprinty off the line
Engine stroked 355 heads done
Big exhaust
Cam unknown yet
Injection
Turbo 700 earlly box
Manual kickdown 2800 lock up convertor
So say im running 245 40 17s
Whats your gear selection?

Hi Pete,

I am going with the 17's as well... But staying with the standard 3.08 ratio.
17x9/10's on the back prob 285/40. On the front 17x7 225x45 to keep the rolling diameter the same for the ABS.

Cheers
