Very nice, I love this build. How's the rear suspension working out?

the front is awesome, low and super flexy
the rear is hard for me to judge, it does its job, but is wishywashy, and the wheel base changes rapidly- i can account this to short links, later i may do a long arm kit, but for now it handles great, flexes ok, and goes down the road very nicely

what did you use to smoke the chrome black? it looks sick and my 93 has way to much chrome for my taste.

ya its basically tint in a can, its designed to smoke tail lights, but i use it for chrome also. kinda expensive, usually 10-12 bucks a can

Congrats Dan the runner looks great.

thanks, we couldnt be happier, i let the wife drive it to church today- which is huge for us. she wasnt allowed to drive the 87. this is just a completely different direction then what im used to building, and we love it.

That's good to know. I'm no where near altering my suspension like that. I'm just seeing what's out there. You running rears in the front?
