First things first, my lovely wife and I spent most of the day cleaning the little shop I have- man, a little cleaning makes a place look good! |

Brand new wheels I bought for another project, cant use em on this one because the backspacing will have clearance issues when I bag it :waah:

Those taillights are cool!!!!!! nice size garage also. I am glad you are staying with the size, got an idea for you thou, instead of a turbo, how about a M90 supercharger off of a 3.8L pontiac!!!!!!!!!! idea for you.

OK, I know it's been a while since I've updated, but I haven't been completely dormant. In these pics are (obviously) some of the parts I have accumulated. There are a TON of small parts from Brothers (new mirrors, lenses, a little sheet metal). There is also a complete A/C system!! Some Porterbuilt goodies, and some new wheels, air bags, compressors, DLOE's manual valves. One cool thing is that a lot of my stuff came from the board. I bought all the stuff from Brothers with a discount they give to board members, my suspension stuff I bought from Travis at Pro Performance, some of which was made by Porterbuilt- all on the board! What's even cooler than that is that a loosely formed alliance of members from the Mid TN area (Rusbuilt, thelonerife, JRANGER, Kronos1968, and slash36g) are coming over on Sat to give me a hand!!!:metal::metal: This be the beginning of what I hope will become a long standing tradition of us getting together to attack ALL of our projects, and to just have some fun with a good group of people!

The day started at around 6:45am when Rus (Rusbuilt) and Chuck (thelonerife) showed up after a 2 hour drive!! That's dedication. Brian (Kronos1968) arrived shortly after 7.
Our day began with sausage& biscuits made by my bride |

The rear end of my truck got notched and bagged (and adjustable trac barred), and I saw how great it was, not only to have a cool hobby, but to share it with some great people
