Hey Fat,

Starting to take a little shape. I like the idea about getting more room for the rails, every little bit helps.

Cheers
Jason.

All looking good Fat,

one thing, I had to do was notch the passenger side rail for more clearance for the oil filter.  While you dont have to do it (it will fit) it gives added clearance.  I use a small commodore filter.

Cheers

Ball is finally rolling mounted the vn v8 brake booster today was a really easy job drilled a 54mm hole through the firewall and mount behind then drilled the 4 mounting holes for the booster then i cut the booster rod down then everything bolted up as per factory.
 I have been putting this job off for months but it was so easy.Wednesday night ill be into the rear cargo area and fuel tank area .Then i can mount the diff back in and the front subframe can go back on.Then i can bring it home (as long as the  ek ute sells).Might have to take it to my mums house to get it out of the way
