project is been rolling along tubular k-member and A arms has been powder-coated navy blue metallic and the sub frame connectors we have moved the battery to the rear and the overflow to under the frame and all the fuse boxs to under the frame and welding up panels to fill the holes in front corners of the engine bay also have moved the pcm wires and hood cable so that you cant see them the under body is about half sanded for paint and the engine is waiting till new heads and cam show up. project kinda got slowed down due to buying a house. Pic coming soon....
