RallyBob will become famous soon enough
I've made some progress. Or at least tonight it feels like it!

I should have the header back from Jet-Hot very shortly, tomorrow or Friday most likely. My special-order urethane exhaust hangers never came to fruition, so I found another source and have to order those tomorrow as well.

The big feeling of success is that every part for the rear suspension/axle/brakes has had the final mods done prior to powdercoating. Everything has been installed, tweaked, removed, welded, re-installed, cycled through full suspension travel to check for clearance, etc....probably 10 times over. But I'm very happy with the results, and tomorrow I get to drop everything off for powdercoating. Then I begin the process of the front suspension re-engineering, and finally removal of the suspension and the engine/tranny assembly prior to painting under hood.

I have to stop by my friend Al's one of these nights and download the latest photos to his computer for some updates, I still can't load photos on my own computer.
