This weekend I welded the 1 1/4" tube that locates the rear tranny mount. After that I was able to cut out the left side sheet metal. I have a BIG pile of metal left over. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif)

it's a 1975 tub still all steel except for the GT flares which are riveted on.
rear tires are 23.5x12.0-15 Hoosier R35 on 14"wide x 15" dia wheels. 5.5" backspace. front tires are 22.5 x 9.0-15 on 10" wide by 15" dia. wheels with 4" B.S. weltmeister 22mm front swaybar, 22mm swayaway T-bars, 250lb springs rear, Koni reds all around. Poly bushings with monoball upper front strut mounts. As Paul mentioned it was a V6 (2.8 Chevy) for 6 years and I had it working pretty well. Now with the V8 I'm starting the tuning process over. It's still pretty heavy and this winter I'm doing a lot of cutting. The car is really too wide and I may try narrower rear wheels next season. 12" wide. I have more pictures at home. I'll post later.
