    My 66 Skylark -
    Notched frame for 335 30 20's 7.5 inch backspacing on 12" rim.
    Front end - Lots of work I cut out the old crossmember some of the frame and modded a Mustang 2 IFS in. Just under 1" narrower track width allowed me to get 285 30 20's under with front 10" wheels.
    Swapped the rear axle for a stock width Ford 9" for A-body with locker and 31 spline axles. Viking coil overs and my home made support structure :)
    Boxed rear and mid frame with additional support from a summit kit.

    Motor ready to drop in and weld up some new motor mounts. Haven't figured the geometry out yet. Figure I will bolt it up and check drive line and engine then weld her up.
