Thanks Dan,

I will double check that line, when I ran it under the cross bar I had my son jump on the rear frame to simulate driving conditions, looked good at the time, but I will take another look.

This site is great, thanks for the info!!

No problem.  Also remember you are probably going to adjust your rear shock springs down a bit to get a good ride height in the back.

Really nice garage!

Did you get the stage I assembly?  I expect mine any day.

Where did you get the plans for the body buck? I thought they were posted here at one time. I like Phil Bernia's Idea too.

Looks Great!

Evan, thanks for the praise.

Yes, Stage 1 Assy, I really needed it so I could have a rolling car to get up to my garage.
I really am enjoying it, do yourself a favor and go over everything with the build manual, recheck all the items that have been installed (position, torque,ect) it also helps to get intimate with every part of the car, so you know it.

The body buck I got from   www.65shlb.com
Its HM1078, Paul P
He did a get job on the plans, just put the body on right the first time
I modified them a bit only to lower it so I can work on the body.

Here is a pic of it lowered.

look like the frame is floating in the rear ?

I think it is too. We must have very light and well balanced cars.....

I went with the fuel filler neck on top of the tank, less likely to leak and burp fuel.
Need to cover the pre cut hole for the side mount set up.
