Well it has been a long time since I have been here. Damn winter projects . The car is just about completed. Fuel lines, wiring harness, breather, oil, and coolant lines are completed, the bumper is trimmed and back on, relay box has been rolacted to clean up the engine bay, everything is on for the last time. The driveshaft should be here by the end of the week and we should be ready to rock.

Mr. Roach has brought it to my attention that there are some people that would like to have us duplicate this kit (i.e. K-member, trans kmember, and rear cradle). Please feel free to PM me, I am very open to teaming up with Matt and duplicating a kit if there is enough interest.
Dan
