On the "what you have" do you mean bought but not installed or already installed?

Sounds like you have all the bases covered

Interior cage or exo?

Pretty cool truss on the rear. Looks like a diamond housing.

Panama85 · « **Reply #10 on:** Nov 26, 2006, 11:54:59 AM »

Thanks for posting those pics. How is the driveline brake working for you? Ive heard mixed reviews. Looking good, keep it up.

That locking hub doesnt look right painted that way.

dov'd85 · « **Reply #17 on:** Dec 03, 2006, 10:01:31 AM »

oh ya i think it looks great... well got alittle hold up. since i am putting all this time and money into my brakes. i figure i should throw a new set of loaded calipers on the front.... i already have new rotors. so it won't be rolling unti i get my new calipers middle of this week, got the front end all together and the rears mocked up

I love the red. Really clean job and on the axle trusses/reinforcement...that is a truss and a half!

I love the extravagant use of steel! Keep it coming!
