Nice work!
You have been very busy. I have a few boxes from MWC sitting in my garage that I need to install and many more I need to order from them. What shocks are you going with? I will probably get the Viking coilovers. is there a certain class you are building to run in?

Nice work to date. Wondering if your planning on running the interior panels in the rear over those? What’s your plans on that?

Are you going to put it back to stock if you ever sell it?

Your tires have hair all over them, it's offensive.

Your gas mileage will likely suffer.

Looks good, that rear looks l ike it's gonna sit about **** perfect.

why did you decide to keep the rear springs in the stock location vs using a coil over like people normally do?

Did you keep track of all the metal you cut out of the rear? Weight wise?
