Bob: You sir....are correct. There's no WAY that beast would fit between those towers in an unmodified state. lol

Lee: I've given thought to purchasing a promo in the past but there is a stock resin interior tub available and then a resin body from Competition Resins. I'll come up with links to both for you man.

Stuart: Thanks for joinin' in man. Still gathering parts for this bad boy. Just trying to plan everything out so I don't get stuck in the middle of the build like the last one. lol

If you choose to go this route , I've got a Johan chassis free for the taking.

This is going to be seriously heavy in the cool factor, Joe.

Hey Joe looks like you have a plan coming together. Do you foresee having to mod the oil pan to clearance the cross member or steering linkage?

Yes I do Brent and thanks for lookin' in. I did it on the last one as well AND I had to heavily modify the headers to clear everything. Of course....using that 67 Mustang chassis helped out.....ALOT!!

Test fitting.

That is looking very tidy indeed. I may not be able to work on my stuff at this point but I can certainly live vicariously through you Joe.

Thanks fellas. That is actually the last Maverick chassis that I built. I'm merely showing Brent what all is involved in the engine fit process.
