    Thanks for the nice replys. K-Member posted that pic as I'm computer stupid, try to get some better pics soon. It really has a Granada 8 in(a little too narrow) under it. Done all the work by myself, other than K-Member helpin me set the roof on during the chop. Really a good driver, on a stock Merc frame. I see no reason to clip one.....OLDBEET

    Hey Dad, do you remember how to post pics? I think 41 chev trucker may be able to give you a refresher course when he picks up his glass. You need to make your other pics smaller to post them, but at least you have a star photo album now....

    Alleycat, a sawzall and a wire feed is all ya need. Tape measure comes in handy also. I did it in about 2 weeks part time, and I ain't no body man. Not a hard as I thought. Its a driver, lives outside, in the snow now!....OLDBEET
