    Quick update for the last two weeks. Got the disc brakes from Vic (OldSkool) installed last week and then I'll install the dual MC once he ships it out and new brake lines shortly after that.
    I also rebuilt one of the smaller sub frames that the driver side inner rocker braces up to and tacked in the new lower inner rocker. After my next Sunday in the garage, I should have the whole outer driver side welded in place. Updated pics will come!

    Ok, so the drivers side is coming along. I've got it all tack welded in so one more day of final welding and rebuilding the back of the front wheel well. Then onto the rear valance and passenger side. While it seems like a TON of work, every step forward is one closer to getting finished and on the road.
