1949 Mercury

[Ron2]

The interior tub went in pretty well, some slight guessing on the alignment with the way the chassis and tub connect..
As I began to settle the chassis into the body, I realized I was off on my wheel and tire measurements...by about 1/16" or a mm, on all 4 wheel offsets. This prevented the chassis from settling into the body.
Crap.... lol
Some surgical removal with my sonic knife, some grinding with the dremel and I was able to correct it.
Had to disassemble the front cross member to get to everything, and just reassembled, then glued it all back up.
Everything settled in nicely and I'll give it time to set up...again.
Should have a great stance....once I can actually put it on its wheels.
LOL

Those of us from AZ are used to seeing cars in this position!

Going to call this one done.
Happy with it, though there are some things to improve, I suppose that's true for every build.
The stance is great, makes me wonder how it would've looked with the rear skirts on... but I could not have made it any lower, there is about a mm between the frame and the desktop. Definitely going to need air-ride or air adjustable shocks for this thing to get in and out of a driveway.

good call on the two tone. Love how it turned out, the look, the stance.
...oh, and the grille!
