yea i thought about just putting the disks on this one but i really want to do the link tabs with some bigger ones. when i did this i didnt have my cnc and used 3 inch lowers and whatever the triangulated uppers are like 3.25 or soemthing. and i had to trim them and it looks like crap. so i dont know i have time to think about it while i build this customers full chassis i have to do now.

So I worked on it some more yesterday for a while, I got a huge area of the floor all welded up. Also got new current plates on it.  Now I need to....

*Reconnect the shift linkage*Finnish the firewall*Rear wheel tubs*Floor under rear seats w/ seat brackets and maybe an access panel to the bags*Install fuel cell to its new home and run remote fill hose to the taillight *Air cylinder on said tail light*Driveshaft tunnel*Relocate battery (have 4ga wire for that)*Run new fuel and brake lines to rear of truck*Clean up wireing and other BS stuff under the hood (I hate wireing this will be last lol)*Put interior back in *figure out what to do with hood that dont shut after body drop. either cut it open, get a cowl hood, or put my M2 front clip on and lower the motor said M2 clip will also help with fender clearances

*Then comes the dreaded body work lol

Ok well I spent almost all day sunday on it and the wheel tubs are 3/4 of the way done. I still need to get the automix gun so I can seal them to the quarter panels.
