tunnel clearance
Hi all,
looking for some advice, I am fabbing a floor and trans tunnel for a 1929 model a project, I need some advice as far as clearance between the sides of the drive shaft and the tunnel, the body is channeled 4 inches so the tunnel is pretty tall, the rearend is a ford 8.8 with coilovers and will have a panhard bar and has a four link set up, not sure how much side to side movement to expect any advice is greatly appreciated, thanks
