    I have a request for you all. Can you measure from the bottom of the marker light to the ground. Front and rear.

    Got on the lift to build the exhaust and got a few pics. IMG_20150221_083126878_HDR.jpg exhaust was a tight fit with the torque arm. IMG_20150221_083149821.jpg also got a seat belt bar installed. It has square tubing inside the quarter that ties into the rocker for strength IMG_20150227_173133739_HDR.jpg but pull a couple of pins and the back seat is accessible

    The paint turned out very NICE! It should really pop once you get the trim pieces back on!! Great progress. :thumbs2:

    It can't be seen in the pictures but the stripes have red pearl in them. As well as red pearl in the red that almost gives it a tri-coat look.
