Thank you guys! I never even took a pic with the partial floor in. Now the car is loaded up with my parts, and back outside under the cover. I probably wont have any update until after I get the car moved into my own garage. Once I get it the I can get it up in the air and cut everything out so I can start over.

First off, let me say I love that banner!

As far as the car goes, its still sitting. I ordered some parts and scheduled some work though. Updates are coming soon, and they will be good

From Wiki.....
"Hi-Risers are a type of highly customized automobile, typically a traditional, full-size, V8 powered, rear wheel drive American-built sedan modified by significantly increasing the ground clearance and adding large-diameter wheels with low-profile tires. Depending on the model and style of body, autos customized in this manner can be labeled donk, box, or bubble."

Sean drives a donk

It is looking like I will actually be working on this heap for the next couple weekends, so I may as well bump this up to the top in preparation. I am going to be getting the car ready to drop off for some cage work, but I wont go into those details just yet. I will also wait until I have pictures from this weekend to show what I am changing around, but I will say I am going to be undoing some work.

In the mean time, my carbon wing came in so I will throw up a few pics of that Unfortunately I had a lot of my camera gear stolen lately, so I only have cell phone pics for now. Its good enough to get the point across though

Blurry overall shot

That's all for now, look for an update Saturday night or Sunday!

LOL, well if I ever get this house maybe we can do something over winter! It really isn't that hard, just have to be OK with cutting up your car. That part has never been a problem for me.
