Thanks. Yeah, it doesn't even look like the same car we bought last summer. I had the wheels mounted/balanced on Saturday morning so as soon as the paint correction is complete I can get them installed. We are supposed to have nice weather this coming weekend and I'm trying like hell to have her ready for the road by then.

So far all I have completed is the front clip. Once the paint correction is complete I'll install the new wheels which I had mounted and balanced over the weekend.

Thanks for looking.

Very nice work! She's looking good.

Got the cross member under the oil pan cut and installed CFD's flanges. Now I can drop the oil pan and fix seal leak.

Thanks JEWLD

Getting new tires installed tomorrow morning.

I had the BFG`s the last 4 years and liked them but the rear size is out of stock.

I ordered Generals as I have never had a set and the price was right

Nice job. I got out of the car loan trap a few years ago and I don't intend to ever borrow money for a car again. If I can't afford to write a check for the balance, I can't afford it!
