You can see in the pictures where the curve on the inner fender doesn't match the fender. The rear is bolted in to hold it in place and the front is out about an inch or so. This week I plan to get one in place and see what happens.

I also got the transmission in the chassis and measured for a driveshaft. Only issue is I need to have the mounts lowered by what looks to be an inch to line everything up right and have the powertrain as low as possible in the chassis. Hopefully I will hear from Nate or Dave this week and get it corrected.




Like with every project 1 step forward and 3 back
