    That's a lot of change in three years. Well done Jake.

    Just first class, Jake. Bumpers & side trim will give it the rest.

    Say, I watched some guys on 'U-Tube' lowering a '49 Ford with a simple kit: The spindles were switched left-to-right, as the uprights were turned upside down. One guy heated the upright, bent it a few degrees for camber...

    There was also a bracket trick, angle iron (3/16" or 1/4" thick, looked like 1.5" angle, about 6" long.
    This relocated the moorings for the inboard upper control arms, and provided adjustment with shims!
    The 'Shoebox' store has these kits, check 'YouTube' for the free vid. Very interesting, I've had shoeboxes and lowered every one of 'em.

    Bed liner the inside. Possibly some wood flooring planks for the floor. Already have an aluminum frame made for a tonneau cover to be covered with 1/4” plywood, a layer of landau foam and marine vinyl.

    Yes. I have to finish some body work on the dash and mouldings, reprime, and paint maroon before installing.
