Man this is one of the coolest threads yet! Awesome, I wish I had the skills to take on something like this.

 

I don't understand why you're doing all that work, it looks like it'll buff right out

All kidding aside, this is def. one of the most interesting threads so far. It looks like its coming along real well. I'll be keeping my eye on this one. Good luck!!

 

I have a dana 30 housing that we would just need to ship if you want to talk about it. I actually think we have a couple jst housings if everything else looks good. PM me if you want me to check into what we have around.

Dude you've got mad fab skills.
That one donor vehicle burnt up pretty good. Looks like a nice engine comp fire.

 

Holy Crap! Did someone decide to do the A-Team Flip in that thing?
