wow, I was shocked, the purolater guy just showed up with my patch panels....6 days from the order date, and they came all the way from Kansas city Mo. Im am so stoked to get back to work on it now!!!!!!!!!!! Heres the stuff i ordered from Classic Parts of America

I talked to the SGI (government insurance) inspection agent and the clip is bolted to the original chassis the same way the clip bolts to the donor car so it totally passes inspection. I cut the frame horns so they fit right behind the rad support and fender fillers...just need to weld a tab on each side to bolt the original rad support mounts to and slide a 2x4 box into the end of the frame horn for bumper mounts so it will work out great.

Thought while i was out checking the fit of the patch panels i would take a couple more snapshots. Took one of the front side veiw to show you all the stance and wheel fitment. I actually stretched the wheelbase by 1 1/2 inches to get the wheel more to the front of the wheel opening, I think the fit looks better. Also included pics of the front mounting area. This isnt finished yet but it gives you an idea of how its going to work

It's looking good.
Is Saskatchewan having inspection 'rule' changes soon like Alberta?

Hey bob, as far as I know they are not. I was an inspector at the garage where i used to work, so I know the person to talk to and when I called him to ask about if it would pass inspection, he assured me that done correctly it would. The front suspension has been changed....but not modified from the suspensions original integrity. Also in SK we can register antiques as just that, antiques for occaisional use, and if registered that way and insured privately they never require inspection.
