Re: My 86 build

...today I made some new shock mounts, my other ones were too small, so I made these out of 2" square tube and got them welded on , shocks mounted, now just need shorter bolts....

Re: My 86 build

took the air dam thingy off the front bumper today, and took out the heater blower motor for now, the front tires were hitting it when layed out. and I'll have to trim the front fenders again for more clearance....
