Default big mikes killer..

well ,mike was in no rush since cartek is waiting on heads for his engine and we had alot of other things to get done in the last month and a half, so his car sat in the corner up until this past weekend....

heres some of the progress, for now its just getting mini tubbed,coil overs, we'll redo the back bars off the cage(had to cut them out for the new mini tubs) install the rear/torque arm/lower control arms he bought from Roofer Dave and fab a front mount for the torque arm...
