yeah he is a great guy, asks for and actually listens to advice. we check in on him if it gets to be a while since we heard from him.

I am pooped. I put the front end back together for mock up and decided the old passenger side fender would be just fine for that activity. still took a while, I am missing the top bar of the rad support so I whipped up a couple braces to keep everything together. the fender went right on after some massaging of the core support. I didnt want to but I pulled the rad, just to keep from breaking it with all the jostling.

popped it on and need to trim both the frame horns and the inner fenders a little more.

its already pretty low. I like it a lot, and its going to come down a little more. once I get the mounts made and the rad/condenser installed I will order the wheels.

more to come!
