I've been building in earnest.
I widened the rear of the tub and made it blend in with the sides of the body.
Then I reshaped the top edge of the rear of the tub to match the sides.
After that I started fabbing the side rails from 2x6x1/8" tubing. I cut a 32 style reveal into the rails and curved them to match the slight curve of the T body.
Then I pinched them at the cowl and ran them forward to the front crossmember.
The axle will sit out front slightly and it will be sprung off the bones which I am fabricating.
It will have a 29 smooth grille shell.
I have the complete 72 Maverick 302-C4 -8" from my donor car previously posted.
Here are a few pics.
