You'll like those tires. I've been really happy with mine.

Yeah these are my 3rd set. I've been hoarding these for a couple of years. We got them from the goodyear test track hear in town. They used to give us tires for being able to test them on our vehicles.

Score!

Finally had time to work again.
Got the frame plates made and tacked on

Love that feeling when you get to set your project on the ground. All she needs is a drag link tomorrow and she could drive. Now for the rear. But that will have to wait till after I get back from KOH.

 

[Mtbcoach]

Congrats, stance up front looks great...

 

[thelakerat]

Got to drive it today! Woo hoo!!!
As soon as I get back from the hammers I'll start on the rear.

Power steering Box rebuilt. Check!
Modded for ram assist. Check!
Hoses made. Check!

I'll make a Pitman arm tomorrow and then start on brake lines.

 

[thelakerat]

Brake lines built.
Started on rear 14 bolt. Got it stripped of all brackets.
