looking good....
1 suggestion from me would be while its this torn apart..... plate the front of the frame horns or box it which ever for the steering... those frames have a bag habbit of cracking due to the steering....

good luck with the build...

ya man, i've been meaning to hit you up. i'll try and come see you around new years, i will be down in Orlando for that.

you guys need to come up for pandamonium next summer, should be a killer show.

i got the last bit of shit other than top mounts and crossmember steel to bag the back, then it's bust my ass to make enough money for someone to build a front clip to my liking. should be fun here soon.

also, just ordered my new harness....dunno if i said that yet haha.

why exactly would i plate the frame horns when the steering box is behind the crossmember? It's plated there already as well.

its getting fully rewired right now. I just got lights and shit working the other day. trying to figure out the last little bit of that. blinkers are acting up. need to hit up the junkyard for some temp replacements.

once thats done I should be starting the motor for the first time, driving it for a few weeks and bagging it there after. Will hopefully get clipped after the new year with an s10 or similar. less track width, more steering low. body work and primer. will be done after that. just want it presentable and layin out. i think i plan on building a front engine drag HA/GR after that.
