A Couple pics from the weekend. We have the BB back in, and I put my wheels (just the fronts) back on to see how it would look at ride height. Keep in mind, we still have the core support, the weight of the water / coolant in the radiator, all the front sheet metal, battery, bumper, etc. At least a couple hundred pounds to add to the nose weight. It should come down another inch or so (?) Hard to say ..

I like the look so far. I am working on my front clip now. The front fender is not as far along as the door and rest of the cab. Just first stage primer / 220 block. It will look better once I get the inner fender in, etc. I'm pretty stoked about it.
