man what a disapointing night uke:

had to remove several bars to get my upper link mounts like they needed to be(for the rear. very aggrevating.. but in the end i believe it will be a cleaner/stronger set up than i had

for the rear it looks like im going to have 8" of seperation at the axle and chassis. with the lowers being about 6" longer

but i did get a visit from brown santa yesterday

thanks Joe

I can't spend any money on it for a while, thanks to our great president and the cancellation of the Constellation program , my wifes and my job are at jeopardy right now


any ways its about ready to tear down to do final welding and paint. i really only need to do some gussetting, aluminum for floors/firewall and skins, and build a bumper for the winch on front

radiator/fan,shifter, steering, seats, fuel cell, and battery are all mounted

i cant wait to drive this thing

thinking about black chassis with pewter silver body panels...thoughts?
