Alright here we go...

Redone PS rack installed, greased and ready for the lines. UPR bumpsteer kit.





Trunk inlay for the spare tire. like the original made out of fiberglass. For one part no need to make a permanent mold, duck tape is your friend.

Test fit in the trunk.






Upper cut out, molded and fabricated. Both the inlay and the cutout will be later bonded.





Pedal box installed, works flawless. My Son-in law (6'4") has no problem to operate the pedals...means not he can drive that baby. First idea about the gas pedal - later more on that.

This will be the ride height, I like how that looks. Now you can see her new home. The new shop has a "spare" 24x19 foot room, no more up and down from the pallet rack. A/C heat, 110v, 220v, 440v, compressed air 140psi --- just below my office...







stay tuned for the next update...
