Very cool! I thought the same thing when I saw the flurry of parts and progress. Man - this thing will be on the roads this summer!

Nah, yours is on a whole ‘nother level. Would be cool to cruise this on HRPT, though...

Nah, I think we stick with plan A. Just found out I’ll have a 6-week training course between now/then that will steal away precious garage time...

Still plan on pounding on some rivets this week, though

Re: How To: Ruin a Perfectly Good 4wd
Hey Chris, looking good...Wish I had found rear axle mounts when I did mine, would have saved a bunch of time. About 5 yrs ago another 2wd conversion moved the front crossmember forward 1"....making 105" wheelbase, it did look better IMO centering the front wheels in the opening..to late on mine I had already mounted it....something to consider......Ed.
