Ok so just worry about packaging and get it as good as I can and don’t overthink it. Thanks for the thoughtful replies. Man I can’t wait to rip this thing around when it’s done!

I have a build thread on the dodge flathead site- it’s super easy to post pictures there so when I come in from the heat in my driveway to get a dry shirt and sit in front of a fan for awhile I post tons of updates on there. I just finally got the chassis shortened up and the body fitting pretty good this week here’s a link and apologies that I haven’t figured out how to get pics hosted so I can post them here.

Link to page 4 to see the stance of the old girl on the new chassis:

Pages 1-3 have all the gory details of the build so far- remedial caveman stuff compared to the beautiful 1/4 mile rippers on here but I’m having too much fun and nobody called the township on me yet...
