Hi mate!
As regards to your tips post, it would be helpfull to know in advance dimentions such as how much the prop has to be shortened and if the back chassis is left standard or a new one is build from scratch?

Also what to use as a tailgate and rear window?

Cheers in advance for your help lads!

didnt know you wanted to make it 4x4/RWD sam.....going to be alot harder work than just making a pick-up. got to chop all the floor pan up or try make a cali floor pan fit

your kidding vallance... i thought it would make it easyer :-\ you could just space frame the back end so you dont have to f**k about with a calibra floor pan or just cut out the centre and weld in a tunnel its not quite as complex as you and your amazing knowlage on making novas into pick-ups make out as i asked graham and rick today..
