Looks badass. Just curious, why didn't you go with a Madman torque arm (since you seem to be going pretty hardcore with everything else) ?

Turo: suspension components are sponsored by BMR. Its their Extreme-Duty chromoly stuff, not the typical street stuff.

Kyle: I'll be doing the engine before the PTK visit. Maybe a month or two away. Probably going to use BS3

Spanky: Only pics I have. I'll get some more later once I clean up the interior and put new carpet and seats in it.

Once again...looks awesome. But i got a technical Q for you. Why is the caulking poored around the backs of the subframes on the floor. Why aren't they welded in that area?

Tony, what made you go with the front Aerospace brakes over the Strange? I ordered my new rear end with the rear Strange brakes which is what you have, but was curious as to why you went with different fronts.
