ok gang here it is, somehow my computer and this site aint seeing eye to eye no more. so after a week of tryin to catch you up to speed i said screw it, and created another account. anyhow this is where im at, i still gotta paint the bottom of the springs in the pics. the drying time is killin progress, but so are customers rides. cant blame a guy for tryin to make a livin. oh by the way i was mistaken bout the bumper height law here in wv, its 31" from the bottom of the bumper to the ground max height with a modified sticker. bummer, i wonder if theyll notice a few more? i really dont wanna drop my bumper, i got it just right! anyhow there you go tex i hope to update again in bout a week

yea it sucks that 450 people have looked at my thread and its just the two of us tex. unfortunatelly ive been busy fixin a kia amanta the some genius thought was a tank, total loss but the guys got the money, whats a guy to do? i gotta pay the bills should be done with it next week.(gettin tired of the 2am nights and back at it at 8am) i took tonight off gettin burned out on the kia. but i got all the springs painted just gotta bolt em together and to the diff, then i can start weldin up the front spring mounts. i think i can knock it out in a weekend if i can get rid of the kia. im hopin to get some work done on it this week if its only boltin my spring packs together, just somethin to move it forward ill get you some pics up asap. stay tuned....
