Looks like you have a very nice start on your project an glad to see that you are doing it yourself. You will be proud of it when you finish. Good job cant wait to see it finished.

I'm starting to teach myself how to do fab work..I think welding and bending metal is about as fun as it gets.

Well I weld and fabricate just about everyday. Sometimes it's hard to keep going when I get home, especially in this heat, 104 today!

If all goes well, I plan on being complete by Jan 08. Have allot to do and work isn't really cooperating right now. The joy's of self employment :roll:

Thinking 36" wheel openings would do the trick for those tires. Also watch your tire to tub height I am thinking you need 3" from top of tire to tub to be safe with tire growth and at least an 1" on sides for clearance but i'm just learning, mrcars I am sure is the expert in this. You don't want to have the rear up too high to clear tires or it takes away from the apperance of the car. Good Luck
