ewwwie ditch those taillights :p

hey did you have to get the block and/or girdle notched to fit those rods? i know with eagle h-beams you have to notch the block. not always the girdle though, it's kinda strange lol.

if you don't care about the rear suspension pieces then a good cutting torch should do the trick, lol. nice progress so far. I'm also digging on the K5 in the first pics. A friend of mine is picking one up in 2 days that is very similar to yours. If you don't mind I'll post a pic of it when he gets it. keep up the good work.
