Worked for hours last night clearing out room for the hatch to come back to my shop.

Went and picked up some dollies to set the chassis on while I do the conversion.

Got everything I need to narrow the rear end.

Will be borrowing my friends narrowing jig here soon so get my rear end welded up.

Looking good Matt.

After deciding on RWD, I'm assuming the fuel tank you fabbed won't be usable anymore?

Can't wait to see it finished.
