    i'm sooo excited. got another set of rims yesterday. total i've only spent $260 and i have two sets of rims. they're starions. i'll get pictures when i can. they're the same as my brother's. two rims have already been sanded and clear coated but they haven't been sanded down far enough that you can't tell that they've been sanded. so i'm gonna strip the clear and sand them down even farther. and the other rims that haven't been messed with haven't been touched since they came from the factory.

    hey everyone. haven`t been on in a while. got a few updates. windshield wiper arms are painted and i got a set of pedals for my birthday so i put them on. will have pics soon. also, its so low that im gonna have to get a whole new front suspension setup cuz its bottoming out. eventually im gonna have to get either the 4-link suspension in the back or the notch for the frame. i think ill wait and save up for the 4-link.

    a metal cross prolly go here

    here's my pedals

    also, don't know if anyones ever tried this but we took a big roll of the rubber seal stuff you can screw into the bottom of your garage door and put it on the valance. now it looks like its two inches lower in the front. only one problem, if i drive up too close to a parking berm it could rip it off. the stuff is cheap and the holes are already drilled so it wouldnt be a problem to fix if that were to happen.

    i wish i could say it didn't have any rust but that wouldn't be true. the sides of the front bumper are rusted thtough, the bottom of the doors are starting to go, and the tailgate is in bad shape. i cant complain too much though. i coudn't have gotten a better deal if i wanted to. $600 and all i had to do was fix the timing set? what more could i want? lol it'll still be fun to bag this thing eventually.:D

    Hey. i haven't been on in a while and i had a few updates. Yesterday my dad help me put air shocks on the back of it. if i went over pretty much any bump, the frame would hit the axle. now the only things that rub are the mudflaps and the front tires rub the inner fenders. Dad and i also went and got tint yesterday (we got quite a bit done yesterday). haven't put it on yet but dad's going to teach me/let me learn how to do it myself. we picked up a small hood scoop as well. I'm gonna try to get pictures up soon. I also had question for you guys. I'm going to order drop spindles soon and i was wondering what would be the best, in your all's opinion. since we loosened the tortion bars the ride up front is too soft. please let me know. thanx
