That looks very cool!!, When the body goes on, you should leave the bottom edge clear.

something doesn't look right with the trailing arms, the angle of the dog bones looks to extreme. Are the mounts drilled correctly? It might just be the picture...

That's really neat. Good ideas with the color and decals Gotta admit something I can't put my finger on is bugging me about the rear supspension. Could be just the ride height is too tall as it sits. I don't know anything about those Andy's rear ends though.

The trailing arm kit comes with a template to drill a tub chassis to mount them. But they end up way too far forward. That's what you are seeing.

It also looks very narrow and that may be playing with your eyes a bit. If there are DS dogbones in there it is pretty narrow!
I like it. The narrow rear goes great with the narrow front. We just aren't used to seeing them that way
