    The car looks great nice job, as for me I would put 12''deep wheels on the back so the tires stuck out 1''1/2 but thats me the car looks great!

    That´s a great build. I dig 55s, not necessarily with straight axles, but this one is awesome, because it´s not too sky high. I really like that you guys are taking your time vs finishing a car within a couple of weeks. I think that lots of ideas evolve while building a car and it certainly is a benefit to have the time to change details during the build.

    Good luck in the new shop!
     
  12. No, he is not longer involved with the shop. Not sure where he welds now.

    Hey Kail this is a great build your doing. I have a question about the 2nd series axle your using, were you able to use the truck spindles or did you have swap them out?? If so what spindles did you use? I have a 57 1/2 ton truck axle that I will be installing into my 57 wagon. Thanks for taking the time and posting the pics. Wade
