Very nice job! Man, if I could weld like that, I'd be dangerous.
Keep it going.

Advanced Adapters make it for the split case...... I'll get that measurement tomorrow..... I can't take credit for those welds. My buddy's Fab shop is doing the welding.

New Wheels/Tires
Got my Goodyear MTR Kevlars 35" and Method Racing 17" Wheels .......Gonna run with these at first and see how it sits after all put together. It's a little high right now.

Very Nice! Looking race ready more and more. Have you ever mentioned what color you're thinking about. I can't remember.
Wiring: Are you doing it in house or having a shop do it. I'm still up in the air with it, not sure which way to go.

Still up in the air about color. I've got a new 12circuit harness to put in.. I'm going to lay it out and see. I want to hide as much as possible...
Maybe you could do alittle detailed write up about the wiring. You're starting from scratch alot like mine. That's a big job.

I think he is going with the combo of chartreuse and pink. Pat your welds are amazing.

I almost would paint the bottom pink and keep the top flat black. The problem is most people don't what the 55 is let alone the nickname.

Noah,
Harsh words......what's wrong with pink?
Nothing at all! Perfect for a Pig!
Wow that is some great welding!!!! Pat those seats with those killer brackets look killer and the rims looks sick too! Nice choice.

Prolly not a whole lot of kids poking around the pig pen, but I'd like to keep it relatively civil regardless. I don't think I've ever used a heavy hand moderating, but I'm not interested in this site becoming pirate either. As long as its relatively on a tech track and not too personal I'm cool ...

Since steel's your business and buddy's got skills, I hate to question, but you think the arms would be sufficient in the rocks?
Bet your buddy could clean house building arms to correct driveline angle and cut and turned housings for the 80 crew,
