    This is an old pic from a couple of weeks ago, since then I've butchered the firewall a little and scooted the body ahead so the firewall is about an inch from the distributor.

    Here's another pic, the car is still on the jig now but it has tires on it

    Couple more. Now I've got the stock rear cut off and a 2x3 rear x-member in it's place so I can run the spring behind the axle

    Cool MP33! [​IMG] Hey, don't sweat the shady pics - I'm glad there's someone else besides me who is photographically-challenged! [​IMG] Regards, Dave.

    Slazzen,
    The Z added 5 inches to the frame. After I set the engine in and positioned it where I wanted it I cut out the firewall and slid the body up to the back of the engine. I then knotched out the wheelwell in the stock location and slid my rearend housing in. I then measured back 7" and thats where I put my rear X-member.

    My wheelbase is about 108"

    Here's a pic of the tubing

    Here's a kwik sketch on how I figured it out, The angle is pretty fricken close to 45 degrees
