Default Project Envy showing some progress

for those of you who DONT know here some background info for ya...

//~~Project Envy~~\\
1999 Trans Am, bought wrecked (see original photo)
Front swung over about 7 inches. only 1/4 inch off but got a kink behind rail so we are gonna peel off the sheet metal near the ABS stuff and see if it wont pull out since nothing will be holding it, if that fails we'll jsut cut it all off behind the kink.

Everything is starting to look so much better now though. front is square, A arm is switched, most underbody peices are straight, everything other than the rail is lining up as it should.

But enough of my jibbering, heres the pics I took tonight!

Before



After
