Final pics for now. Back to work tomorrow but I’ll continue to work on the rear suspension next and get a final ride height. I’m happy with the front atm.

Been thinking about colours and have been thinking military. So not sure if I want it olive drab green, a dessert tan or a flat blue dunno I want to paint the motor and diff but need to work out colours/themes. I should just paint it all navy Ford blue until I decide on a body colour.

Have a look at Tamiya rattle can military range of colours you might find colour, you could do a two tone on it.
AS-19 intermediate blue, AS-5 light blue Luftwaffe.

Not much lol :lol: but the four link does hang low.

I originally cut the drag chassis in half just in front of the tubs. I’ve narrowed them to suit the 32’s fenders. Kept one tail shift loop. Trimmed all of the rear off which included a fuel cell because it wouldn’t fit under the 32’s boot. When in place it looks good but it’ll have to set the ride height when I install the tubs so I’ll paint and finish the rear suspension next. Front of the drag chassis from about the seats forward will be used.
