Indeed... going to be tight, but I think I can pull it off.

May 17th is Billetproof at Milan Dragway.

Anyhow, more progress on the trunk panel, pretty well done with the welding on it.
Need to get the body mounted now and get the rockers made up. Probably will skip the trunk floor for now unless I get everything else done and have time.

I got my mandrel bends, O2 sensor bungs, and my flanges, but no header pipes yet... planning on working on the header this weekend if I can.

I had to see how the bumpers will fit up, I'm dying to get the body and bumpers on it...

As soon as I get the rear body back on for some measurements, I'll get some pics.
I imagine my wheel gap will be too large, but I've got some flares to add too...

Very cool DR! Can't wait to see that Poncho clip on the truck. [dr Will there be room left for the license plate after narrowing? Or are you putting it somewhere else?

I think I have enough, but hell I don't remember now!

If not I'll hang it somewhere... I think I am going to use the '49 plate I bought

I'm going to pretend you didn't say that

 

[Dirtyrat]

Rear end back on, still need work on the wheel wells

Well, I got the back portion back on, but I need to finish up the wheel wells, and the rocker area... I took a mock up picture with a fender flare, and I think I like it, but I'm also thinking it might just need to be lowered too...
In person it seems to look better with a finished off fender lip with the flare...

Tomorrow and sunday I'll be fabbing the headers, I got the flanges opened up for the piping size I'm using.

Anyhow on to the pics...

 

[Torchie]

Crazy Man!.
I dig it alot.[cl
I would go with the flares as long as you don't lose any of the Poncho quarter panel elements.
