Looking real nice! ;)
 
Nice!

What are the specs on your wheels and tires?
 
Billet Specialties wheels 15x4 & 15x16. Tires MT sportsman S/R 31x16R15 and S/R 26x6R15. The tires and wheels were the hardest thing for me to decide on. I'm very happy with what I got. They complement the CCR long body and give the look I was after.
 
Very Nice! I am a big CCR fan, been using their stuff for many years and always with the best results. You'll be very happy with that set up. I have that same rear end but my car probably won't be finished before yours so I am anxious to see how you like it once you are on the road.
 
How did you set up the breather for the rear end? Haven't done mine yet. Still thinking about it. What gears did you get?

I'm thinking about this breather: http://02e449d.netsolstores.com/38nptrearendbreathers.aspx

As for gearing, one way is 4.11, I think the other was 3.48. I will probably go to whatever combination has around 4.56's in it, but first I'll try the 4.11's. I can get away with low gears using a 700R4.
 
Very nice looking car! Thanks for the pictures, they help me visualize what my build will look like. Already have the CCR frame, engine and transmission and will be picking up the stretch body on Thu.

Can you provide:
your rear end wheel flange to wheel flange dimension?
offset of your rear wheels?

Thanks,
Jerry
 
Wheel flange to wheel flange is 52" 4.5" back spacing I also used a spacer on each side to get enough clearance for my calipers. Look at the forth picture. Axle flange to axle flange is 56" Hope this helps.
 
Yes, that's helpful, thanks for your reply. My question was poorly worded, what I actually needed was axle flange to axle flange actual which you provided.

I intend to use 61.5" Jag rear end narrowed to 56.5" and planning on 4.5" offset wheels. Body clearance will be about the same as yours. Clearance is reduced somewhat as Jag suspension compresses but still appears adequate based on test fitting done with 4.0" offset wheel.

Again, thanks for your help.

Wow that is sweet! Is that a CCR interior kit? How tall are you and how is the fit with the extended body. I am 5' 11" and was wondering what the room was like compared to a standard body. Good luck with the rest of your project will be looking forward to more pics.

I'm 5'10" and it is very comfy for me. CCR did the interior but I picked out the material from a different supplier. I rapped the steering wheel with the left over material they sent back.
