I am about 50 now so I have to get all this wrenching out of my system before I cannot do it anymore. HAHA! Then again she complains that the Trans Am is too low for her. I don't listen anyway...

Thanks! I hear ya... my wife loves the high stance. I've had several other lifted trucks and vans that were higher than this, so shes ok with it. But I do think a nice looking step under the rockers will be a good idea. I'm finally making some decent progress on this thing, but it will still be a while before I can get it painted. I'm going to get it all built and drive it for a while, then when I can afford to paint it, I'll take it back apart for that. It looks all Frankenstein with the green aircraft primer and other primer spots, but if you can get past that, it is built nice and everything is new or rebuilt.
