thanks, its a 4inch glasstek pin on. very light weight. fits nice. my brother has a 4 inch harwood 4 inch bolt, its a little heavier because its the bolt on version. fit good as well. i always thought 4 inch cowls on this body style set it off

thanks man, yea its come a long way. i remember messaging you for pictures of your setup a few years ago.

all half to get some pics when i get a chance. but i can sum it up for you until i get some pics.

since the last time ive posted

ive lowered it a few more inches.
rack and pinion steering on the front.
cut the front frame right in front of front suspension to replace with tube.
fender exit headers
lots of engine work, crank trigger ignitionn, vacuum pump, 2 nitrous systems (one fogger and one plate), different carb and intake ect.

i moved the radiator to the bed.
new ladder bar crossmember
rear anti roll bar.
mounted master cylinder under the floor
re did brakes
got the hood.
made the bed cover
got slicks for rear and new m/t tires for front

and alot of other small things.

i weighed the thing today. race weight with me in it was 2858

pretty sure i can get another couple hundred pounds out of it yet when i put struts on the front and some other stuff.
