Spent this evening drilling holes and fitting some more. Good LORD!, that was a lot of drilling! And I’d already taken this frame completely apart, so all the body rivets are already gone. Nothings tight except the rear notch. I am going to use a wide (‘70-1/2-‘72) rearend, so I blasted the case, but I have to build it out, so I can put it at ride height and then set the pinion angle and weld on the rear lower bag mount.

So tomorrow I’ll work on “reconstructing” the 468 so I can place it and the 700r4 in to get all my angles set.
