That's the same arrangement I'm using on my Chevy. Simple, yet still works great. What did you decide to use for joints?
Im going to use the two links I already have made with the flex joints. Thats why Im only running a y link on one side. If I ran two y links I would get some suspension bind do to the flex joints.

This is one of those builds you just have to ignore for a while so that when you finally do look back there has been some progress. lol. jk

I got both rockers all cut out and the fenders are also all trimmed up.





Good side shot to show how much I cut out.



And heres a stock fender picture to compare to.



Im going to be using 2x4 or 2x3" with a 3/16th wall for sliders and cut out the rockers so I could tuck them up into the body more.

I also got my bender all set up today.
