Tubbed the firewall today, and stuck the fenders on to see how much clearance it will have. This thing should be able to turn pretty far laid out. Theres about 3 finger widths between the tire and fender with the wheels straight.

*Mufflers now not for sale in CA*

Lol. This truck is smog exempt.

The Nissan got torn down to a bare frame to get detailed. Guy said he wants cover now, so it doesn't run. I just sent one out (which is why I decided to make one for the Datsun) and I am supposed to get a sound clip from that. If not, this truck is leaving here running. I will try to get video.

Dry ice will get the glue out from the floor boards.

Just be careful handling it..

New front crossmember because the Toyota frame is longer and I couldn't fit the stock one back in. Too bulky.

Laid out with the front sheetmetal in place.
