    Yeah still need to finish trimming and welding up the rear fender wells. Then take a hammer to the passenger firewall. Then weld up the rear end. The goal is to get the 33s to fit with no lift. I am planning on getting 2 inch coil spaces just to gain some extra height.

    I'm pretty sure there will be very minimal rubbing with how I cut out the rear. I think the coil spacers may help with that.

    Thats eventually the plan. I want to see how far I can take it as a dirt cheap budget build for a bit first.
