Are the rear wheels going further under the arch?? I noticed recently on a number of the Treapanier customs that the tops of both the front and rear wheels are in the arch,.. Its a good look...  |

Its a good look... yeah the pic there was just to get an idea of were the wheel will sit i relation with the arch the hight will be fully adjustable on coil overs it will be able to go down by around another 4" |

got all the rear chassis rails made today but forgot to take the camera  should have the rails fitted tomorrow and maybe the axle aswell i'll have to see how it goes then i can get cutting on the rest of the floor as i've decided to go all the way up to the engine bay as the center would have been the only origional bit of chassis left, front has already had alot of work done so it would have been a bit silly to leave the stock weaker bit right in the middle i'll get a few pics of the progress up tomorrow  |

Looking good as ever there. Might sound like a daft question but what do you use for taking measurements when cutting the floor out like that and religning the axle, just a tape measure and level or do you have something more accurate? |
