Project Frog Princess
Got the diff in place perches not yet welded but its sitting on the ground on four wheels for the first time. I was on pins and needles wondering where the rear stance would turn out. Basically its about right, but may actually be low when I get the interior and drive train in. Not sure how much that will drop it. Regardless, I've been waiting a long time to get a first look on four wheels. :D
There's no torsion bars in, so its sitting on the LCA stops. Would be nice if I could keep it that low but of course I can't. Also, the rear discs are not in place so the wheels will move out a smidge.
Locating the diff correctly was a puzzler at first. I was doing a lot of repetetive measuring, then for lateral placement, realized with the wheels and tires on, wood spacers between the inner tire and frame rail cut to fit tight was an easy solution. For front to back, I referenced from the torsion bar mounts. Turned out the rear tail light panel was dead on so I can more easily use that reference.
