Good beta!
Thank you

So while these may not be formula one racers, there have been more and more reports recently of 80+mph runs down dirt roads, which puts them in rally race territory. Even more so with a nice cushy 80 chassis

I'm with @J Mack on this one. 2nd or 3rd opinion would satisfy. Whats your method of measuring?? You could put body mount bolts in upside down and tighten them in the 4 furthest points and measure your X points that way. Might be more accurate

 

[J Mack]

This late in the game I would just check suspension mounting point to suspension mounting point (front to back) (side to side) and diagonal, wouldn’t hurt to get the frame on 4 jack stands and level front to back and side to side before you measure. Confirm your suspension mounting points are 1/8” or better within straight level and square to the best of your ability.

As long as your suspension mounting points are reasonably square keep going you’re going to be just fine.

A lowrider Pig would be so wrong, it would be right!!!

What about, instead of low rider, it was “donk”?

You first

 

[xtiaan2000]

I really am a fan of donks! So many tough decisions!

 

[xtiaan2000]

My cast of characters for the lifting dance.

Actually did not go too badly! Moving from the jackstands to nothing underneath until I got the chassis under was scary!

My Mom there to make sure I didn’t do anything wrong and viola!

just enough room. I think I should change my thread to ‘just made it’

Now onto body mounts. Gonna follow along and find that steering box brace that Briveganbj42 is using. Just makes sense to do that now.

 

[Ol Yeller]

So great

 

[scrapdaddy]

Yeah, Mom has that look say'n " I'll kill you myself if you get hurt! "

 

[RUSH55]

Wow dude! Moving right along!

She don’t mess around. Kept wanting to get in there and hoisting things round. ‘No no no just your eye will be fine’

At this spot the rear seat hits the coil bucket. I like the wheel well/fender look but might have to slide body a bit forward to get the back a bit lower.

 

[xtiaan2000]

Tough to figure the forward/aft positioning. The wheel looks too far back when moving the body forward to clear back seat/coil buckects. Got to raise it a bit to get the tire/fender better balanced looking.

Any thoughts on what I might be missing. I've got huge ears! Maybe Im not missing anything.
