    working on my hood, filled in holes from my cheap fiberglass scoop, raised the edge where I have a hole cut out for my air filter with my hammer and dolly's, now to make a template to fabricate my scoop which I'm going to weld to the hood.

    I was able to finish the body cart prior to me leaving -- Cart is 100% Bolt in, and can easily be removed. Very Sturdy was very pleased with it -- Its been on blocks for 6 months.

    Sent EVERYTHING to sand blast and powder coat -- Everything!

    Doors came back from being blocked out, fenders went to sandblast and will be blocked out, things are coming along...

    Now I need to pay my guy $480 :/ Can I barrow some monies :s


    Now I am currently in Baton Rouge, LA for the next 40 days.


    Any members in Baton Rouge?

    Nice job, Levi :dance:

    Wish I would have built something like that instead of building on jack stands :)

    You used a pitman arm puller to get the steering stuff apart, correct? Just got to do mine now.
