Getting closer on the build. Painter is finishing things up and put the bod onto the car. Looking at the attached pictures I'm interested in thoughts on the reveal around the top of the tires. In my mind, I'd like the top of the wheel well to sit a bit closer to the top of the tire. I believe my only adjustment here will be with the coil overs, is that correct? My problem is that I like where the frame is riding relative to the ground (4.5" currently).

Is there another point of adjustment I'm missing? By the time you fix the attachment point with the front bolts and the body sits down on the 3/4" tube running down the engine bay, there's not a lot of additional adjustment I see.

All you can do is lower the ride height.

and/or increase the tire diameter.

It's not actually setting on those 3/4" square tubes, but on the quick jack posts (but still fixed). I ended up closer to 3.75" on the front tubes.

It's good to see Walter still at it.
