got a little progress today..got a new u joint for the driveshaft..axle shaft u joints were pretty tough to get out. also i installed my chevy tow hooks on the front... i drilled holes in the frame rail then mounted them with the 1/4in steel plate. after those were put in place i cut my bumper and folded up the lip to make room for a strap to go on the hooks. i will get pics tomorrow

You need to get that welder so you can go crazy with this thing...but most importantly you can weld stuff for me haha.
