now, back to da bizness at hand...

i started the disassembly and got a better idea of the issues ill be dealing with.
as i removed the passenger fender, half a bucket of dry foliage and dirt decided to greet me!!  :roflsmiley:


all in all, no major problems, a little fabbing and all this goes away.






dig the pro hi performance shocks!!!!


i also constructed a fine building to store my car in and work on it!

i hope i get enough air flow. its all plumb and i built it all myself, just this afternoon!

thats why your not me.  :poopoke:  :smilielol:

took me 5 hours and about 20 bucks to make this one look fine, and it will never rust. at least not where i touched it.

all finished now, ready for a little finessing.






and thank you so much for the comments.
i do so appreciate your input.
