again sorry for the pro touring guys, I do intend to get to my c10 and camaro soon. Just need to wrap up this monster.

being in the service really hasn't helped me any. I've been gone pretty consistently the last year or so.

Some Assembly Required, Level of Frustration May Vary. : The Seemingly Sometimes Lost Art of Quality Work

a blog i started just for some place to vent, and bull**** about my other two projects lined up behind this on
e. i'm deploying again and finally found a shop to help me while i'm gone that I trust. Working with strangefab metacraft out of tuscon, owner/ operator's name is Mark Hanson. absolutely insanely talented and a ton of offloading experience.

went to pressure wash the engine bay and the paint started peeling (great bodywork) so I went from this


to



we are pulling out the west coast bronco hoops and probably going over to coilovers and some backup shocks

just thought some of you guys might enjoy some of the updates. been hauling ass lately on the bronco, trying to get it on the road before the holidays so i can push the C10 in for some work finally.





stuff coming back from powder coat


center console and diff covers got clear powder coated


got a set of beard seats coming for it so pics to follow soon with a lot more progress

sorry again, i know a lot of guys may appreciate the fabrication i know I do. same guy will be doing the suspension, brakes and cage on my c10 next year.
