Wow, that's some serious hardware there on the chassis. Coil overs, nice front a-arms, adjustable tie rods, the brakes. VERY sweet looking build, and you've got a great start.

Definitely keep posting some updated pics on the progress. Looks like a great build.

Editing...

I just noticed the engine and tranny in the background. Looks like a Lakewood and a tremec. If that's for this build, you must have some nice HP in it. What's the specs on the motor?
