nope just the pic angle i guess. will be close but then again the rear wont actually travel that high anyway. when laid out it should be about 1in from the bottom of the notch

Re: 65 ford shortbed

Did you torch out the holes for the motor mounts? I just found out I could do that.

Re: 65 ford shortbed

Personally I am not down with the torched/plasma d holes. The bolt will have a little play in it and over time, it will probably elongate the hole enough to wiggle a bit. Plus, I personally think it looks unprofessional (but what does my opinion mean, that's right absolutely nothing!) It's amazing how easily you can drill holes with a drill press(night and day over a hand drill and a vise)

It looks dope though! I have a thing for fyords!

Re: 65 ford shortbed

500 bones is pricey even in CA. Assembly should be around $350-400 as long as theres no machining involved. If something has to be machined then it gets pricey. Its easy to dump a few grand in rebuilding a motor.
