I'll be back on land in a few weeks. When I do I'll be going to take mucho picturos and post them up. I'm stoked this build has been taking ******* forever. But it's worth it solid axle four link with auto and a progressive nitrous with a big *** shot should make for some interesting v1 quarter mile times

What will be the final wms to wms for the 9" and what is the wheel width?

Thinking about picking up a CTS or a salvage title V and doing something similar.

Mine would be more on the cheap though.

Thinking straight axle as well but Carb'd LS.
