Billy :rofl:

Me, I wanted to take a few without all the clutter from the fab work.

A quick bit of machine work to the upper A arm bolt holes. I decided that the 10mm's weren't quite as snug as we wanted them so we took them out to 7/16's just for good measure. Uppers and lower on the front and lower A frames on the back, This puppy will be on tires tomorrow with a cab on it.

MawHaHaHa (evil laugh)

Update Sept 14, 2009 part 1
 
Busy few days, some rack mockups, measurements and then back to the jig. Billy’s been getting a bunch of the little parts all knocked out and I’ve been doing paper work along with the last programming for parts off to the laser.

Fenders, wheels and fire wall, and seat checks and mockups

Billy Painted the Semi Gloss Metallic Charcoal Gray on the wheels race wheels and the street wheel.

Decided we didn't like the fire wall, really we hadn't changed it sine the move from auto the manual transmission so we needed to re adjust the position for the driver.
