    Not much unfortunately. Ran out of money and I'm waiting until I can buy some more parts. I did a few small things. Put a starter and an alternator on it, cut down some SBC spark plug wires I had lying around. Mainly just been planning out things like the steering and brakes in my head. Wes (El Hueso)'s new home has been keeping him pretty busy. Hopefully we can get back on it soon.

    Well, mine is actually in my shop for the first time in it's existance! It's also the first time in ten years you can see the floor too! Still has to share space with the "never ending Pre-Unit" though. Working on the steering mount and some body stuff this last week when everybody else's stuff is done.

    Mike, are you still planning on firing it up soon? Let me know if you need an extra set of hands. McKenzie is going to be out of town till early July so I should have some more free time once I get back into town on Monday.

    That's awesome. I think this is the first time I have seen it with those WS posts on. Looks great.

    I guess it wouldn't take much to fire it up...or at least try. I hadn't really thought much about it honestly. I have been thinking more about getting the front/rear suspension finished, brakes and steering. It would be cool to fire it up though! We should hang out when you get back. Its been a while.
