HAD TO RECONSTRUCT  THE FRAME WORK I COULDENT GET A KIT FOR A 1960 T BIRD SO I BUILT THE FRAME   MYSELF STARTED WITH  ALOT OF MEASURING AND INSIGHT  USED 2X3 SQARE STOCK 120 WALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I GOT THE BASIC OUTLAY OF THE FRAME WORK THEN DONE ALOT MORE MEASURING AND BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD I HAD  TO FIGURE  THE CENTERLINES OF WHERE THE AXLES AND TIRE SPACE NEEDED!  MAJOR BRAIN TEASE   LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WENT TO THE BONE YARD PURCHASED A  HEAVY DUTY 9 INCH  FORD REAR END HOUSING OUT OF A 77 RANCHERO  LATER  SET UP WITH 456  WITH A SPOOL FULL LOCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I HAD ALOT OF PREP WORK THAT NEEDED TO BE DONE BEFORE I REACHED  THIS POINT HAD TO REMOVE ALL THE ORIGINAL BRACKETTS  BUT YES  I NARROWED IT UP MYSELF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I HAD TO CUT THE ORIGINAL AXLES TO MAKE A TEMPLTE FOR THE AXLES THAT I HAD CUSTOM BUILT FROM STRANGE AXLES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
