So the CB is coming tomorrow and i hope to get it in next week. Going to dover for the nascar race so I am not going to be able to work on it. Also had a miss-firing problem so i had to change the plugs wires and cap so it is fine now. The bumper mite get put on hold because I mite be getting a CJ-5 but I do not know if the deal is going to go down yet, but the bumper is the next project.

I downloaded autodesk when I was ten got the cheap version for christmas then didn't like it. Then this year I got the chance to take Dual enrolled cad classes at my high school so I have been using that since. The local college I'm dualed enrolled in is a comunity college that has more equipment than any other college in the state. like third in the country.

I'm senior in high school and know more about soildworks than my teacher.

Ok so I though I would put up the pics of putting the lift on because I have not put any of them on yet. Over all it went well. My buddy and I did pull a all nighter to get it done so we could taking up to RC for the weekend with the guys. Started working on it at 9pm stoped to go to work at 530 then got back from work at 12 and worked on it till 2 and we were done. Then left for the weekend. Did not get to sleep for 2 days stight, but it was worth it!
