My friend sent me a picture while I was eating dinner.

Apparently, it's drivable, lol. He said the open headers were a bit loud and that we are bringing Cali style back!!!!! Not really, haven't put the front spindles on.

Front shocks, lower ball joints, door pins, and drop spindles are in. New tires are on. Alignment done. Radio and amp installed, forgot to get the sub. Now back to waiting on muffler, ac compressor, and shifter boot. Will be getting dyno tuned at eps on the sept 28/29.
