I actually wanted to keep it up high but no matter what I did it was always 1" too narrow for the radiator to pass between the mufflers up where I had them. Had to take the low road with the muffs. By the time radiator and shrouding/body/airflow directors( rofl) are in place I think I'll like it. I think others will too,hopefully. ;)

Fast,there's only 8 gauges ..........................................and 3 idiot lights will be between the tach and gps so I don't crash hunting a gauge either!  ;D ;D  Car should be done,well likely anyway but I really hate to go out without a body.

Lance,I thought I might need a bigger hammer.  ;D  I have only enough room between the back of the lower right hand gauge and the defroster duct for the hose to fit. I thought I was going to have to delete the defroster. WHEW! it clears though. 8)

Well,the dash is fully roughed in. Needs final fit and finish but the fricking hard part is done.  ;D ;D ;D

Been toying with several ideas for the body. I think I have enough experience now to tackle a pretty cool idea. With a few mods, this Jeep concept vehicle body style will adapt to my frame well and be fairly easy to do. Try to picture it without the silver lower panels. Kind of hard to imagine a Jeep styled body but I think it pulls it off. ???.

Not really anything there interested me. Comparing my needs , chassis shape and proportions,wheelbase,etc., it appears to me that this might be a good fit . In my minds eye I can see the end result but,of course,you guys can't . My photo shop skills are ,well, ZERO.   bs1
