I assume you're trying to lay frame on the 70...which is awesome. Are you going to have to modify the floor pans? Or at least the one between the trunk and rear seat to get the rear end to tuck enough? My guess is that you'll already have to to get the frame c-notches to fit. Fantastic work by the way.

lol. do i amaze you on how stupid I can be? i am after all starting over with something that was almost done.lol
not quite looking to lay frame just want about a 4.5" ride height and proper suspension geometry to make it work well at that height.and yes I have to cut up a perfect floor and trunk to make all this fit. I never claimed i was smart!

I saw your post above where you changed some things.
Can you go into some more detail of what you're doing? I thought your stance looked spot on before. Clueless why you're hacking things to pieces again! lol

ok i will give you guys a little rundown on my changes planned. why you ask ? after much deliberation i decided i wanted a lower ride height with proper suspension geometry to handle like its on rails and not have anything hanging down below the rockers of the car. this includes the frame sticking down so i decided to move the front suspension up 1.750 the rear suspension up 3" and i am going to cut my perfect rust free floors out and make the body mounts and floors from scratch to get the body lower over the frame. and as long as i am at it i might as well move the motor back 2" to fabricate a new firewall too. and and and. ohh FF0k what did i do!!!!
