Pics and progress on my 86'

So I finally got the factory x-member out, really psyched about it. Well I guess I should have posted it on another thread, but I also had some questions for you guys with a dropmember; will I have to reroute all the gas lines when I go to cut for the R&P notches and brake lines? I'm not a mechanic by any means but I'm very mechanically inclined and have had another bagged truck before but this is my fisrt time w/ the DRMBR so any help would be appreciated. Also I only got $200 plus the cost of the DRMB....SO FAR. don't hold back on any comments and or questions....









Whoever said this was easy to install this,b^$#s*&t......

That drivetrain & those fenders in the way sure didn't do anything to make it easier. As far as the R&P notches, my fuel lines terminated before them so no biggie there. The brake lines will require 'tweaking'.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
