    yeah yeah yeah... I dont get to wear shorts at the new job so they stay covered up all day long now. Ive started welding in my speedo so hopefully that will speed up the sun tanning process :rofl:

    Well got a little more done

    Got the mohawk welded up and tacked to the housing, turned the center section 180 to center up the driveshaft a little better in the back. Also cut the upper coilover mount and started tacking it together. Still need to cut the spacers for the pass side but its slowly getting there.

    it will be alright..I dont feel like pulling that center section out again for a while. At least till it comes back out to weld it up and paint everything, then we can drill and tap the rest of the holes.

    Got the rear 4 link bars tacked together and in. Also started playing with the bump stop can mounts. Need to cut the plates out of 3/16 and weld it up. Then I'll work on the coilover axle mounts and some bumpstop landing pads.

    That's a brute Jason!!!! Your skills have really come a long way.

    Good Lord it's wide - did you flip the ends of the Rockwells and it's still that far past the body?

    That pic is with them flipped in. To run the disk brakes I'll need some bigger wheels and the hubs will be flipped out. So when I'll need some with major offset to help narrow it back up a little.

    I wish...that would've made it an even better christmas present!
