got some work done today, but still so much to do.. notice how shiny the bay is, the gramps spent a entire day wet sanding and polishing most of it. Still some more to do.
what that purple really looks like.
putting the front hubs together(yeah thats me).
gotta love rubbish garage clothes right.. cleaning those slider pins.
my in cab mess.. lol, hopefully soon cleaned up.
my headache.. lol
engine harness work.
with a fish eye lense, this picture would have been so sick. even though its of the car a mess. my favorite picture from the day
had to extend most of the engine wires a foot and a half..

pretty gutted that ugly stock bracket and welded 1 inch steel round on it and braced it in places, way stronger. same weight, and i think it looks cooler and isnt something you see ever day. all the torque brackets have been shaved, welded and made not so gay. lol IMO anyway.
