Well here's an update. This thing is taking way longer than I expected it too... I think mainly because I can only work on it on the weekends and the rig is 80 miles away from where I live.
So I drove it the a few weekends ago on the street and man is this thing slowwww. It feels like the breaks are applied well driving because you have to runnnn each gear before shifting, you can't just cruz with it (engine always has to be running over 2300 RPM). But anyway I noticed the steering was felt loose so I gave it the quick test of jerking the steering wheel back and forth really quick well going probably 15MPH and it broke into MADDDD speed wobbles. I limped it home and jacked up the front end and come to find out the rod ends on the tie rod were shot. I just got them replaced but haven't been able to take it for a drive yet.

The plans are to still put the cage in, paint it, and then install my dual Tcases.

One of these days it will be finished.. :crossed:
