wow, and i thought i had some work to do on my coupe. that is some serious restoration sir...looking good.
Exactly what I'm doing. I scored an axle for $25 from the local yard- just need to start cutting!Sounds like that will be one nice ride! I too am going with the Explorer 8.8 3.73 limited slip rear. I plan to narrow just the long side and use two short axle shafts to center the dif and get the correct width.
It's actually easier than it looks. The A pillar cuts on my donar roof were cut straight through, so I chose to sleeve the pillar for strength. On the last one I split the A pillar and lapped the pieces over the whole length.wow, that's a hell of a project. looks good! how much, besides the obvious, has to be changed for the conversion?
Looks good! Any tips or tricks or the cutting/welding? I am going to tackle the same project shortly. Please let me know which perches you end up using.
