Here's a picture of it 2 days ago. I got it out of my tiny garage with no lighting and pushed it 7 blocks to my friends bigger shop. Today I started c-notching the frame.

I went to Southeast Community College in Milford Nebraska for Auto Collision and we mainly focus on Deer hits so I didn't get to do any custom work. it's a year & a half program. I graduated 6 months ago & got a job at a body shop in Lincoln NE.

ADR wheels (19x7.5), i got them off ebay brand new and they came with tires and were balanced for really cheap. 5x4.5 lug pattern.

IT's a 1985 toyota rear axle, The '79-85 rear axles are 55" wide. and my wheels have a 40mm offset so there's only about 1/2 clearance on each side of the frame. but the front tuck perfect and I have so much extra room so I think i'm gonna get drop spindles even though the front is all ready laying the crossmember.
