Well here she is she is finally off jackstands and driving... she doesnt loko the greatest due to the fact we had to rush it so that it could be driven i needed a car to drive.. so instead of having all diff color pannels we sprayed hte ones that wernt gunmetal flat black for a couple weeks till the whole car can be resprayed again, my friend wants to respray the whole thing because he wants to do a better job in his fathers garage instead of my crammed one.

Holy crap man that thing is slammed. My rideheight is at about the same height as solo ryders. all the way down as far as the gc's go without the perches cut. You must scrap the crossmember and tow hooks everywhere.
