Ok some updates guys. I bought some wheel vintiques rallye wheels for the back as I was going to have rubbing issues with the wheels that were on there. These babys are 15x10 with 5 inches of backspacing.

Went cruising around town this weekend and took some cool pics until my brakes went soft. I guess the old front brake hoses finally took all the abuse they could handle and started tearing. Had some custom ones made that are an inch longer than stock. Now I can lay out and have plenty of slack in the hose.

Haven't done much but I did get the oil filter off. The sucker was practically welded on. It ripped apart with my locking oil filter pliers and I ended up having to pull the header and use a dremel with a small cut off wheel to cut around the threaded part and eventually after 3 hours it was free! :pty:

I was so cautious putting the new oil filter on. I think It may loosen and fall off before getting stuck like that:lol:

Getting a shop crane next weekend and pulling the bed off for the notch!:metal:

Was going to make my own notch but ended up buying the CPP notch, You can't beat it for around 100 bucks!
