the body mount posts are a unique design. instead of actually spending more money, we just fabed some up. you take a stock chassis stiffener (the cylindrical metal peice) and put that over a body post. the body post first needs to be wrapped tightly 3 times with electrical tape. then grind the edge off one of the black end caps so it will fit in the tub, and push it to the bottum. take the long screw and set the head on topof the black end cap inside the tube. put the other end cap on normal over the screw. and you got your self a nice continusly adjustable body mount posts with no extra cost.

Awesome EB, I just sold mine, had a 73. The tlt looks awesome as well, Id ditch the stock trans and install a pede trans. Do a search and youll find a thread on how to install on in the stock chassis. Keep up the good work Mike |

I'll put in my vote for the Associated Stealth trans over the pede and proclaim my jealosy over both your rigs. My 1:1 '74 hasn't seen the light of day in two years. I need a better job or fewer hobbies. (or a shooga Momma)  |

here are some pictures of the cutting board chassis, its not pretty but it has a super low cg. it uses a stock tranny laid down on its side, i think i have to relocate the shocks because its way to low, i only have 1,5in of clerance. on to the pics    |
