today, i got the front suspension all done, i had to lengthen my lcas, but its all done. it should flex alot better now. i also got the other side inner fender made up and welded on. Then i made mounts for the new fuel pump and filter. fired it up for the first time and it ran great off of the fuel cell. tomorrow i am going to tie up a few loose ends and maybe take a few poser flex shots in the yard.

alright well the past few days, i welded up the rear fenders and tied up some lose ends. painted the new front wheel wells, mounted some under hood components and got most of by oba set up in. i still need to wire the pressure switch and a few other small things like paint the panel i made to hold the gauges but it seems to work pretty well, at airs up my tires in about a minute and a half so its not too bad. i also need to set up a oilier for the intake on the compressor.

well today i got my new sending unit in the cell and it works perfect with my factory fuel gauge so thats cool, but i started on my flares, they are not were near done and will be different than another other i have seen, the flat bit is 1/8th inch and the round is 3/4 inch solid, so far they are Turning out great.
then i made this little guy with that plasma cutter

looks good! liking the rear fenders so far. Question, what is the size rims your running and the offet?im going to be doing wheels and tires soon, and i like the look of your offset, i need mine so i can finally build the damn long arms. and set for clearance.
