Looking great! I am going to need to give it a good bath once she is home so the rest of her looks almost as good as the art your putting on her!

Yeah I use to abuse it alot, this go around will be different... I likely still will wheel it but only 1-2 events a year if that and even then I will be gentle with it, I use to wheel it pretty much every weekend. Thankfully now I have a few Suzuki's that I use for wheeling and my Hummer will be babied.

Well the front is almost done, started the rear disassembly today. I think I should have taken the day off. Every major bolt seized on the right side....No blood but very sore. Grinders were out, bolt presses, and even the extended johnson bar.,
Finally got the right apart. Another day for the left.....
