1.75" x .120 chromoly is 5.50 a ft
1.75" x .120 DOM is 4.15 a ft

I thought you guys would be cheaper, actually. And that is Us Chromoly also, not the foreign stuff.

Well we have the crossmember slugged and landed with all 4 tubes. We got the lower tubes bent to clear the pan and still be able to remove the bolt from the lower a arm. The uppers tubes are landed. I have the car mocked up with 17x9 wheels. I will decrease the BS about 2 inches on the front. The rack was ordered today to go with the crossmember we added 2 inches to. I hope to have the Procharger and brackets tommorrow. I'm really interested to see if it will clear the right side tire at full lock. We are gonna chop the top here in the next few days. We are gonna do it 1" exactly and keep the roof parallel to the door tops. Are also gonna look into the gas tank and the headers and exhaust.

We have roughly 12,000 with parts and labor. We have all the suspension and axles on hand or on order. That also includes the Procharger mock up and Bracketry.

I will have hour total tonight after I do payroll and billing, Enjoy.

I Just layed 1" tape up on there and thought that 1 inch was about right. The 1.5" line I layed out looked to far. Does anyone have the measurement of the hardtop from the door top to the rain gutter? the window opening on a post is 13 15/16 - 14 1/8" .
