Ok so not much to report but I actually have done quite a bit or should I say redoing ..........the rear axle brackets were not to my liking and I lowered the rear a bit so everything had to be cut off the axle and frame and rewelded and the rear hairpins hit the body bracing so I reconfigured the bracing (still a little welding to do there)...............the panhard bar had to be bent to clear the frame also...........and I built body mounts but have not bolted body down as of yet..........................A nice surprise came while cleaning the engine a bit I found out it was a 426 rather than a 383 which is a rather hard engine to come by so I'm pretty happy bout that...................othe than hanging the doors thats pretty much it..................

Just used a cheap Harbor freight hydraulic bender for pipe..........the bends are not so smooth on the inside radius but not to bad either..............just bend a litttle then move the tubing and keep doing that.....the key is slow gradual bends.
