yeah, we need to dust the frame, sitting there for such long periods of time it tends to collect dust...hopefully that will be taken care of after we get the motor (soon to come) and the body back on

thanks so far, keep the opinions coming!

Looking good. I like the fact that you have it setting on carpet. Pretty cool. You will like the O-ring calipers.

yep, got em from van steel, we were able to substitute them in the performance package along with the semi coilovers up front, we're kind of skeptical tho on how the fronts are going to work out with all the weight on em, especially with alum. heads, alum. water pump and some other weight saving pieces, hopefully we wont have to take them out to cut em in order to sit at the lowered stance we want...27 inches maybe 26.5??
