Fuel cell not mounted yet and rear Shocks still need to be mounted and see if measurements are right? I think pretty close. Keep all posted

Once tighten down may have to or will have to Dremel some of the diff housing.
 
Either that drill new holes straight up and down? Any advice I’m all ears. Maybe drill new holes in the chassis.
 
From the pics it looks easier to drill a couple new holes in the frame and making the shocks vertical.
Yea that’s what I’m going to do. Making mistakes before you buy what to make it work. I’ll take that. So yea little over straight it will give me what I need.
 
Guess my idea was it’s 4 link set up and if you have ur shocks mounted at a degree angle for handling when one wheel might hook or slip more than the other. I can’t find coils that are adjustable in this size. That helps with traction loss and more tire on the ground. Thanks for the advice and I’ll take all I can. I’m way no perfect. Thanks Kimmie28 for advice.
 
So re drilled it’s all still a mock up will have to Dremel the diff housing on left side to close. Everything still loose fit trying to get the right fit.

So what do I do when I get this thing going?? Not sure on body type? I would love a early 60s Nova, maybe a Shoebox from late 40s to early 50s. I want a 3D print so something I have to look into. I might be able to fab my own this might be little tough though. Anyone knows custom 3D guys that can maybe pull something off? Please tell me. Thanks
