lookin good. some of the pics are grainy- when that rear truss is done id like to see some close ups on that! are you leaving the belly as is or moving it around any?

I hope to leave the belly as is. I have noticed I will more than likely have to run a 2 pc front drive shaft and may end up having to move the front tube on that side of the belly, but not sure just yet....
After CHRISTMAS, (NOT HOLIDAY) I should be able to proceed pretty quickly. Shocks should be here next week, order some tube from RED 9, order my 6x3x1/4 rect tube for the trusses, 8 more 7/8" rod ends from Ruffstuff and get it in roller form and take it to my sheet metal guy to help with the firewall, floors and all....

Got all the links made and tacked in along with front and rear shocks and front and rear trusses. Tranny mount and some tube work in the rear also...
