I also cut the old cab mounts off, won't need them. Since I still have the panel frame I have the two forward "cab" mounts and running board brackets to use. Gonna try and get them welded on the frame this week and get the body mounted. Harley and I are sooooo stoked!

So you can put a camber kit in if you need too when you roll it for the drive shaft. Good.

Looks like you have all the loose ends buttoned up!

My car, my choice. If they don't like it, go look at someone elses.

I have a hard time cutting up a pure car tho, that's why my panel will probably stay mostly stock, except safety issues, like brakes and steering
