Not much progess still waiting on my rear dropmember to come in so i can dig into it. Just getting it ready to pull the bed and cab off the frame and started stripping my engine harness to get rid of the wires i dont need and make a stand alone harness. btw stripping a harness is a pita, does not make the fingers feel good trying to remove all the loom and tape.
and a few parts that came in. long tude headers, lokar oil dipstick, rear airbags, and steering linkage to adapt to the mustang rack and pinion. Also got camaro oil pan, 255lph fuel pump, corvette fuel fliter and all the fittings, ls1 intake, fuel rail and injectors, ls1 water pump and tensioner, flywheel kit to run the th400 behind the ls motor, dirty dingo water pump spacers and idler pulley relocation bracket so i can run the ls1 intake with the truck brackets. Accuair air management should be here today.
Hope the rear dropmember shows up next week and i'll have more pics to come.

Put the rear wheel on to make sure on the backspacing and i think its going to be perfect. Rear suspension is getting cut and welded next week and should be shipping out by the end of the week so hopefully i'll have pics of it layed out in about 2 weeks maybe less.

Maybe the end product will change my mind but as of now I am not a fan of the wheels.
