Looks good. Looks like you cut the fender some, do you have any rubbing without a body lift?

Yes I do. The corner of the firewall needed beating in. Still need to hit it a couple more times. Only rubs if I am turning full lock. I just need to take the tire off to get a good solid hit on it.
You can kinda see it in this picture.

Make sure you seal that area up good. Hammering can leave hairline cracks that will rust.
I barely touch there w the 315s but i may cut and patch instead of hammering.

Ive got some aircraft paint there temporally until I coat inner and outer fenders and rockers with bedliner.

So. After, almost a month and a few trips tooling around, I need to upgrade, and cut. I need to cut a little more inner fender area, beat in the fire wall a touch more, and I need new springs. I have a set of Moog 81114 springs that Ill be getting tomorrow, and looking at ordering a set of skyjacker CR25 rear springs shortly. Hopefully that will get rid of most of my rubbing. After that, its longer control arms in the rear, and if I still have rubbing, Ill do a 1" body lift.
Also, I did a bit of work on the rear platform/storage in the rear. The forward support bits are temporarily made out of 2x3s, and when I finally bite the bullet/get my hands on a welder, Ill make the frame out of steel angle.

Also, so you can figure out where Im planning on going with this, here are a few TBs that Im following for inspiration.
