A couple of shots from the back... air tanks in place, had to cut and sleeve the hoop for proper clearance...

also have to replace the truck oil pan for a lower clearance one

That's a badass ride you have there. What kinda HP numbers are you thinking it's going to push?

I really like the back end. I always seem to like just about any car that's a fastback. Very cool car. Thanks for sharing.

How do you plan on routing the exhaust? Curious with the air tanks located where they are.

There's lot of room between the trans and the top of the tanks - it gets a little tighter over the axle with the 4-link brackets/shocks and bags but still fine.

Temporarily moving locations with some oddball wheels, however liking the lowered look - this is the bags at their highest clearance... this thing is going to sit nice and low!
