What is the overall plan for this one Scott ?

Once I get the trans and engine out, which are currently stuck together we are cutting it in half again to fix some frame issues from the original hackery. Then put it back together a few inches shorter. Yes, shorter than it is already. Then the typical rust repair and hopefully paint

This will be fun to watch. Getting the lowering treatment to?

I'm at the age where "fuck off", "fuck you", and "fuck it" answer most questions.

I would go about a foot longer. I think shorter would be a mistake.
