a little more progress....
working on the 3" exhaust system and had to cut out the leaf spring crossmember I had left in. I'm sure glad I decided to go POR-15 and not powdercoat.

Then I got started underneath...cutting pipe and mocking things up. I plan to weld it all, just have clamps loosly holding things together.

I'm also working on the fuel system still...and have decided to relocate the filter and pump further down the frame to get the pump nearer the height of the tank. Not sure if too much distance is worse then too much height, but.....
