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.
